So I got a front HK-style hooded folding battle sight from Troy on sale. Put it on and looked through the sights... Immediately noticed something wasn't right...
I talked to Troy and they sent me a new one.
Still not right...
Here's a graphic accentuating the problem...
I hated to be a pain, but I called them again and told them the new sight had the same problem. The rep I talked to was nice, and he told me he personally put it on the machine and checked it as well as the original sight I had sent back, and that they were both within tolerance, and that the sight posts were directly centered above bore. That may very well be true, but that just means that the hood is off center. Either way, I told him I couldn't use it like that, and requested exchanging it for an M4 style. I was promptly issued a return label, and I'm hoping to see my new M4 style sight soon.
1. Has anyone else seen this with Troy sights?
2. Am I being too picky? Should I (would you) just use it even though it's not centered?
