Krag carbine front sight

[Sea Buck]

I recently purchased a very nice Krag carbine cut down from a 1892 Krag rifle.The barrel is nicely crowned with 1903 front sight and Lyman blade with a brass bead.Also a Pacific vernier type rear sight.Top hand guard is missing.I have been told that this is a NRA rifle from the 1920's,of course there is absolutely no way to tell. My problem is that it shoots to the right even with the vernier cranked all the way over.Bent sight blade? Looks good to me.Barrel muzzle is good,no nicks or dings.I feel like giving the blade a couple of taps to the right.Any ideas?

That front sight is not really designed to be adjustable for windage, it is on a dovetail only so sights of different heights can be easily put in to zero the rifle. But if you want to move it there is a small screw in the front that must be loosened before moving the blade.

Remember to move the front sight in the opposite direction that you want the rounds to go. Shoots to the right then push front sight to the left.
