Upon closer inspection: It appears that the right side edge of the wood
is too high. At the point just above the slide bar. It causes the guard to tilt up on the right side which obscures about 2/3 of the front sight. I see just the top part. The handguard also isn't loose at all, which I would assume is detrimental to good accuracy. I suppose just sanding some material off that edge would let it lower down and expose most of the front sight. I've shot this one a lot but I think I'd do better by seeing the entire front sight.
I did take just a bit off of the right underside where it doesn't show
and after BLO was applied it hardly is noticeable and when assembled not at all. I now see about half of the front sight which will have to do. I don't want to be swapping parts for any reason. It is still the original Louisville Slugger wood for this example Inland. A bonus was that it freed up the handguard to move a bit which will improve accuracy.
Thanks for the help.
