Have you fired it yet? Always shoot the canted guns before jacking with the sights....results can be surprising sometimes.

Haven't fired it but did laser boresight it and it was not zeroed.

Quoted:
I've tried using an adjustable wrench with the gun vised and with the top cover clamped down but it seems to not be budging. Am I not using enough force? I can pull it to where it looks canted to the left but then when I release pressure it just goes back in place. I don't want you to break anything, but on my Yugo O-PAP, I needed a good amount of force until the sight ladder was aligned with the gun. It's been perfect ever since. Ron, |

It might be the sight leaf itself that is canted. I had a new NPAP that had a severely canted sight leaf. Look at the black line that runs down the middle of the sight leaf. Is it perfectly straight from the tip to the bottom? Or does the line curve to the right?

This is a photo I found on the internet, but this is what my rear sight ladder looked like.
It was straightened by me placing a side-load on it with a wrench ...

This is the sight leaf on my npap. If you follow the black line running down the middle from the top you will see that the sight leaf itself is bent to the right. |

That's true ... never seen one like that before.
Well, the ladder (or whatever you want to call it) still needs to be straightened since it's obviously way too far to the right on the rear of it. __________________________ I would think about just replacing the ladder altogether. |

What I'm trying to say is the ladder itself is bent. It appears to be put on straight because the top is aligned but the ladder itself is bent and must be replaced on my particular npap. You wouldn't be able to straighten it since it is one piece.

Hey Turbo, my Npap sight is bent to the right like yours. By taking a wrench and bending it to the left, what gave? Did the sight ladder bend, or did you bend the pegs or something else? Funny I've seen pictures of several sights off to the right but none to the left.

Tex .... The actual ladder never bent ... I guess the 2 little pegs bent slightly.
Now it looks like nothing was ever wrong with it previously. Looks perfectly normal now. |

Thanks for letting me know. I tried to redrill the holes and use JB Weld to take up the extra space and it didn't work well. I'll try the wrench now!

What's the wrench method? My O-Pap rear sight is canted to the right like those pictured. I replaced the rear sight leaf with an M70 unit, I would also like to fix the sight leaf that came with the rifle.

Wow, thankfully my old O-Pap didn't have that problem. Anyways I'm actually referring to the m92 pistol rear sight not a standard leaf rear.

USN it sounds like the wrench method is grab the rear sight with a wrench (vise grip) and pull it so far to the other side that it bends it enough to straighten out the cant.
