I have a Maadi AK. The front sight leans to the right. Is there any way I can fix this? I can zero the gun but the sight is moved all the way over and this is begining to bother me. Thanks for the info!

The front sight on the AK rifles is drift adjustble for windage. Cheaper Than Dirt has a tool for both adjusting the sight for elevation and windage.

Daren, assuming that you mean your front post is bent, I would try just bending it back. Gun Parts Corporation www.gunpartscorp.com sells replacements just in case. George

I do have the drift adjust tool and I am all out of adjustment. The rifle is zeroed, but the drift dowl hangs out the side of the sight post. It looks to me like the front sight post is a press fit onto the barrel and the sight post was not properly lined up. I just want to knoe can I just spin the sight post on the barrel to adjust? I do not want to get crazy and screw up my gun because I am nit picky.
Thanks Later Daren |

Daren, if it is simply press fit on you may very well be stuck with it. If it's sweated on then you can heat it and move it. But if it's pressed I'd just leave it alone. George

Sounds like time for a little barrel bending. Done carefully, it works!
