    Chances are the builder messed it up............... To be that far off- the barrel pin is canted or was shorn off being too aggressive putting the barrel on the receiver.

    What is a "m2" barrel?

    is the barrel indexed with the rec, your gas tube must be way off, how does the tube line up with the bolt?

    It's probably one of two things: your barrel and extention are not indexed correctly, or more than likely, you front sight pins were drilled off center. you could take the pins out and tap the front sight base and install allen screws and screw them tight with the base correctly aligned. Or you could call DSA and see what they say.

    Saw this gun today , and it shot fine .
    DSA changed out the bbl and receiver N/C.
