Second, any wind blowing at the range will certainly affect the carbine bullet, particularly over 100 yds. Third, what is a 'right front sight'? The rear sight looks okay. It is normal to have the sight base drifted a little to one side or another to correct aiming, and the aperture should be near the center position when the gun is sighted in, and it is. The thing that is wrong is, you never use the elevation adjustment of the aperture except to set it for longer ranges. Elevation is corrected as stated above by adjusting the front sight. Before making this permanent adjustment, you should have everything else repaired to acceptable condition/function (if the front sight blade is bent, replace the sight), and you should use the best ammo you can get for sighting in. Winchester .30 Carbine is about as good as it gets. Once you get to that point, fire at the 25 yard target with the rear sight on '1'. Lower the front sight blade until all shots are at or slightly above the point of aim, none lower. Then shoot at 100 yds. All shots should be above the POA, about 6" is normal. Notice that the rear sight lowest position is marked '1 - 1.5', meaning it is used out to about 150 yards. The carbine was designed to use the '6:00 hold' so the sight post does not obstruct the target. This means generally that the trajectory carries the bullet above the sightline except for the near and far zeroes for each rear sight setting.
