Way back in 1968 with my first C&B I found it shot way off windage wise. The local smith took a rear sight and rounded it out to fit the barrel and epoxied it onto the rear of the barrel (above & behind the wedge) and told me to shoot it and file the notch in the rear sight to align it with the POI. I did so and it is still one of my favorite CAS guns.
