frt sight is leaning

You could replace the FSB with a clamp on model with set screws.

That's for sure, but I'm not sure that's where the OP is headed with this build.

If the factory is going to make it right, problem solved.

It's not that uncommon to find canted front sight bases on AR and AK barrels. I've repaired them in the past by resetting them, (usually on the range at 25 yards), reaming again, and then replacing the pins. Another very helpful tip I was taught is to run some soft solder down the holes too after reaming. Then hit the holes one last time lightly with the taper reamer. This will keep the front sight base from shifting back to the original position when you drive the taper pins in.

Thanks for the input.

I'd have just chopped it down and installed a free-float fore-end on it.

[browningautorifle]

I've done that too...

Warranty work, no can do.

[browningautorifle]

They'll sort it out.

Rifle has returned to owner from DSA.
I have not seen it as yet maybe next week.

He must have looked at it though. I'm sure it's fine now. I'm surprised it escaped in the first place but if it's a flat top, they might not notice.

Up date on the carbine.
Saw the gun today and looks good and shot fine.
DSA changed out the bbl and receiver @ N/C

Seems like a good outfit.
