DaBomb Posted May 26, 2021 Share #7 Posted May 26, 2021 Rear of the receiver didn’t bother me. The sight being crushed did. Both sides of the receiver look like they were clamped in a vise. The right side of the sight looks crushed in. And looking at the posted pic the bottom right of the dovetail looks to show a staking peen next to the flat spring. Left over from the removal of an adjustable sight upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
