old sistema shoots way to the right
6/3/2012 7:32:59 PM
My sistema shoots way right. i am a lefty so i was thinking it was me but after 2 right handers shot it its still right. i benched it and tried three or four differnt loads and all hit in the same 4" or right at 15 yards. ive used the orignal and a replacement springfield barrel. I also fitted a new barrel bushing and slide stop. these did nothing to help. I have the rear sight drifted over to the left pretty far. I am starting to think the front sight may be bent.
is there anything else I should check before dropping money on new sights?
ETA I.replaced the other parts just becuase I had them in the parts bin. It..was.doing the samething before

If you determine the front site is bent bend it the way it needs to go.
Other I would keep drifting the rear site.
Is it possible to post pictures?

I would check to see if the front sight was centered on the slide. I would think the difference would be noticable.
My Sistema shoots great...the sights..front and rear are more or less perfectly centered on the slide...however I own an FEG Hi-Power clone that had the fixed front sight installed way offcenter. Had to drift the rear sight so far to get it to hit it was hanging off the slide! I cut a dovetail and installed a drift adjustable front sight and fixed that.
I suppose the inside of the slide might possibly be machined crooked if the sights are centered pretty decent.
