Wow, renegade. That's a lot of info. Thanks. It is the Vector I mentioned in an earlier post. I bought it about 12 years go at my then-LGS. Had them order it for me after a recommendation. Didn't know much about AK builds and thought i was getting a top-of-the-line model at the time. I've learned a bit since then, and i'm at the "the more you know, the more you realize you don't know" stage with them. Seem like if you buy an AK, you're buying a house and you better know a bit about everything in it, or know a guy who does.

My Vector doesn't currently live with me, and i don't get to see or shoot it often. I've been wanting to upgrade its sighting options for years and that's how i noticed the barrel cant. I'm not sure how it happened, though i've only put a few hundred rounds through it. A few mag dumps, too. I'll just have to inspect it better the next time i see it, then consider the re-riveting options, or just Ultimak it and go buy a WASR to use with my RS Regulate mounts.
