    That's OK, I know some people just won't get it. It sounds odd but it's just the way it works. You have to try it. Naturally if you hold the rifle still it will feel solid. The problem lies in how the eye views the sights when they are in different positions and how the shooter will then move...

    Good question, but even I am not that simple. To be clear this is a M&P 15X with A2 front sight often referred to as an a-frame front sight.

    Thanks Moe, sounds like a good idea. I just found that suggestion on another site. May also be that the delta ring spring is also just too weak. Electrical tape seems to be the gun owner's duct tape. A tip for you in return -- whenever someone recommends electrical tape I usually substitute...

    That's right cyphertext. Suggesting that I spend another $250 or so on a rifle that's supposed to be accurate to 1 moa after already spending abt $1000 seems out of line. It seems to me that if I build my own and if there's a problem, at least I won't have to keep sending it back to the factory...

    Mine is loose too--very loose. It dramatically affects POI and makes this weapon very inaccurate. It was bad enough that the barrel was misaligned so bad that it wouldn't even zero at 25 yards. S&W did fix the barrel but neglected the very loose quad rail. Spending a grand or more on a weapon...
