    Now, about the FRONT sight...

    ... You've no doubt checked this already, but is the front sight 'way off to one side or the other? If so, use an allen wrench (3/16" IIRC) to loosen the sight, center the sight itself on its base, and cinch to screw down tight.

    How do I know about this? Simple: had an M1icon with the same problem.

    BTW: rear sight moves in the direction you want the impact to move; front sight is opposite. thus:

    Rear. Impact
    Moves Moves
    Left. Left

    Front Impact
    Moves Moves
    Left. Right

    HTH -- without confusing the issue.
