Benelli M4 entry front sight

[JTs M4]

I saw this new Benelli M4 entry and noticed the front sight was way off to the right.. I've never seen a new M4 with the sight this far off centered..  poor QC or problem ?

Is it actually canted or just not zeroed? Min was off center (not that bad) when I got it. After I zeroed it , it was dead center.

I'm not sure, it isn't mine I just noticed it in the photos when I was looking it it and made me wonder why it would be so far off centered..

My first thought too....Loose and sliding side to side while in the box? IF NIB I'd say just not zeroed, but if the gun has been used and zeroed maybe there are other circumstances?

The nut holding the front sight strips easily. I replaced the sight on 1 of my M4's that was stripped and loose from the factory. A replacement nut was $7 + not including shipping. You will also need a 5.5 mm mini wrench, this is the one I used:

My 1014 new out of the box was the same. I centered and tightened w my (at the time) newly acquired 5.5mm wrench being careful not to over tighten and have been good to go since.
