marstar type navy sight way off

[crocker038]

Have a norinco with a marstar style navy front sight. The post is a little askew/crooked, but it shoots way off center, so i have to correct windage from the rear aperature. Is there any fix to this? I don't really want to try and bend the post, not sure if it will make a lot of difference. Any corrections I can do to set the rear sight to set it at "zero" without it being dialed over to shoot straight?

Also, if I were to order a new gas lock type sight that i could mount a new front sight from Smith, so I can drift the sight because it's dovetailed, would it fit on the norinco threading due to imperial/metric differences?

thanks all!

Dlask sells one for the Norinco and a separate version for USGI

I would ensure the barrel is indexed properly before you throw too much $$ in parts at the rifle.....

First things first, as it were. First true up the rifle, then see if the sights need to be be repaired/replaced. You will find the the problem hasn't corrected itself no matter which sights or parts you throw on the rifle if the rifle is not "true".

Agreed. Your barrel indexing is almost certainly the problem. It's a common problem with this rifle.
