    2 reasons I could think of...
    1 being if the lock up to the receiver wasn't tight enough.

    Cause he had a hard nosed Sgt standing over his shoulder.

    As for the adj site. For shooting I much prefer. If shooting at someone because they are shooting at me or buddies, Type II or III sight would be most desired. Don't beat yourself over a misc part, many original internal parts have been swapped out thus tossing true history.
