I have an 03a3 with a rear sight that is offset about 1/4" to the right. It looks like there is a line on both the base and the sight that should line up, but just looking at the sight it is fairly far off.

I shot it for the first time yesterday and had to crank the windage all the way to the left to get it centered over the bolt and get on the paper. I never realized this was off (first 03a3). I think the front sight is a little canted to the left as well, but that is a different problem.

What is the best way to try and move the whole sight to the left? Just take it apart, remove any set screws, remove wood and trigger group, and hit it with a brass hammer??

I'm trying to avoid messing it up further.

Thanks
Steve
