Alright, I bought my yugo m24/47 back in march and just finally found the time to shoot it 2 weeks ago. she shot alright but i soon found that the front sight blade is off of center by approz 1/4". which puts my shot off a good bit even at 75 yards.
I have been told to remove the front sight hood and use a brass punch to tap it back toward center. I attempted to do this but the blade didnt want to move, and i rather not over do it and possibly break something.
My question is: Is there an alternate way for re-centering a front sight blade or should I use a bigger hammer?

Thanks for your help
 
I have the same problem with one of my Mosins. I'm going to give it a few shots of penetrating oil over a few days and see if that helps. There are sight adjustment tools available but I don't know if any fit the 24/47.
