Hello everyone, I just purchased a numbers matching Remington P14 rifle. It has its original stock with front and rear volley sights and a 1916 dated matching barrel. Everything on the rifle is fine except the front sight (whole front sight assembly) is noticeably canted to the right- I know it’s not the barrel as I checked the witness marks on the bottom of the barrel and receiver and they are lined up. The front sight is drifted pretty far to the left to compensate and has been staked in place, which leads me to believe this is how the rifle case from Remington. My question is was this common? Was the quality control fairly bad- since these were being manufactured for the Britishicon? If it shoots ok it won’t matter, but I would like to know. Thanks for any help!
