Windham 308

Well , that's not right . In post # 3 , you said you had it all the way to the left & looked like it needed to go more , sounds like it moved at one point . Has Magpul contacted you back yet ?

  Have you shot this rifle yet with these sights ?  Have you the ability to take photo's of the sight alignment & sights .

  You also say its all straight , with the upper receiver rail perfectly aligned with the gas Block rail ?  It will not take the Gas Block being off to screw up sight alignment .

  The rail on the Gas block may be out of spec's , even though its rail flat may be level , other parts of where the rail clamps, may be off & tilting the front or rear sight .

I had the adjustment knob turned as far as possible to the left. But last night I looked and no matter how far or which way I turn the windage knob it stays centered on the marks. The marks are on the front of the sight and is the reason I didn't notice them before. So basically the sight will not adjust for windage. Level of the rails was checked with a machinists level. Alignment was checked with a 36" straight edge. Tightness was checked with a strap wrench. All verified with the Mk1 Mod0 eyeball. Verdict: I have a bad rear sight.

Where did you get that rear sight?  Sounds like the threading for windage adjustment is stripped, or the aperature is stripped.  You turn, nothing happens.

 

This isn't a MagPul PTS rear sight, by chance, is it? Hence, the reason I ask where you got it...

The MagPul PTS line is the stuff that MagPul has licensed to airsoft builders...  One, or a few companies, are allowed to make it for the airsofters.  It doesn't hold up well on real firearms.  FleaBay is LOADED with that schit, and many sellers don't really get into details that it's the PTS line of stuff, and try to pass it off as the real deal.

 

One of the primary reasons I lose my schit when I see people buying real-gun parts from FleaBay...
