anyone got a solution? without shoulder stock the sight works fine. WITH shoulder stock attached, the sight elevation increases with each shot!

You could try replacing the spring inside the stud that sets the position of the sight. On the one that I had, it had gotten so weak with repeated use that it would shift even when fired freehand.
I was unable to locate an origional spring, but was able to fashion one from spring steel wire from a hobby shop. If you are going to attempt to do so, be forwarned that it took me quite a bit of effort to get it right. I wound up with several yards of spring wire in various gauges and a lot of failed attempts. IIRC the way I wound up with a satisfactory spring was to anneal a piece of wire, roll it into a tight spiral, and then push it into a cone before re-heat treating it.
