I put a Vortex Strikefire on my Ruger ar 556 and it took me a while to tell where I was hitting. When I finally got a group about 1" to the right of the 1" dot I was shooting at, I tried to coincide the flip up and front sight my red dot was close to 1/2" to the right of the iron sights when they were lined up? I wondered, why I couldn't hit anything trying to use them before I got the red dot. I plan to put an adj. low profile gas block along with a freefloat handguard on later any way so, I guess it doesn't really matter that much since I can't see good enough for iron sights anymore but, was just wondering if the fsb being canted could cause the sights to be so far off with the red dot? Thanks! :)
 
I recently installed a Lantac Dragon muzzle brake, is it possible maybe I caused the cant when installing it? :o
 
My AR 556 had a loose barrel nut when I bought it. I fought sighting it in for weeks. One morning drinking coffee, I discovered front sight would twist side to side! Took back to LGS, tightened nut then it shot great. Called Ruger and was told to tighten nut and be done with it.
