My gas block front sight came in today. Looked great taking it out of the box. Machine work is top notch. White stripe dovetail post. Looked really good.
When I went to install it, things went down hill. Unlike the picture I had seen of them. The two parts do not meet up. I was left with a very large gap between the two gas block parts. The size of the gap is 0.055".
I called about it...Was told it was the bottom part of the gas block, that was causing the problem, not the part itself. Then was told I could just Dremel the new part to make it fit (that in itself, is not right at all). Then I was told I could send it back at my cost and have it machined more.
Not sure about anyone else but, when I pay for something to be shipped to me and I have to send it back immediately at my cost, because it's not right out of the gate. That's not very good customer service in my book. And I'm a stong believer in customer service. You take care of the customer always. Especially when there is an issue, not of their doing.
If anything, I could have been told, sir, sorry to hear that its not fitting as it should. And I can see in the photo's you sent that its not. Tell you what, I'll get another one made and on its way. If you could send that one back on Monday, all will be good.[/FONT]
No such luck...So I'll be switching back to my factory gas block. Bummer to loose $106.95...Live and learn, thankfully it wasn't the rifle I was having work done on. When you buy things on the internet, sometimes you get hosed. So anyone out there that has been thinking about a gas block front sight. you may get one that fits, If you don't, be prepared to pay additional shipping to get the issue corrected.
