[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 2294114, member: 4701"] If it is physically possible to get the windage zeroed, even if it takes all the travel available, then it is 'correct' in AK terms. Small comfort, I know. My -107CR was delivered with an ever so slight cant to the front sight base/gas block in one direction and an opposite cant to the rear site base in the opposite direction! The front sight post was however perfectly centered. When I shot it at 25yds the first time to confirm zero I was hitting nearly 1.5" left of POA. A closer inspection of the drum into which the front sight post was screwed actually showed a witness mark way off to the side. It HAD been zeroed at the factory and then somebody pushed it back to center prior to boxing and shipping. That was one of a couple of issues with that gun. That Arsenal has/d a reputation for making good guns doesn't mean they don't make a certain amount of junk; every manufacturer does. The good ones though make significantly less of it though through better manufacturing processes and catch more of it with QA/QC before it gets out the door. What really sets companies apart though in my book is how they handle things once questionable items they've manufactured hit the field or the market. That is just as important to me as the company's reputation for quality products. We are well into the point of receiving products that were manufactured during the production surge following the gun control freakout response of Sandyhook and other stupidity. During that ramp-up in production you can bet your sweet tush that many manufacturers were loosening QA/QC standards to get more units out the door. Ek [/QUOTE]
