Check the front sight, maybe somebody Bubba'd it?
Is the rear sight the later adjustable one, or the early flip-up style?
Is this a genuine GI carbine, or a later commercial clone? I had the bolt on my IAI clone carbine jump like that once, but otherwise it's been a super little gun.
You might have a good 'smith check it for excessive wear, especially if it's an older gun.
