It happens. I've only seen it on refurb Mosins, though. I have an m38 that I can twist the entire rear sight mount from one side to the other.

Thats what I explained to you last night but that case was a lot worse that what you have.

It looks ok to me. I like what you did with the front site.

Hello,

The front sight ring and post on my M44 seems to be tipped a bit to the left on my example.

I'm wondering if this is common on these rifles? I'm figuring it is, given wartime production and Russian manufacture.

Thanks,

Josh <><

Called a canted sight. If you can shoot it with any aim adjustments necessary, leave it alone. These were meant to hit center mass, not the X (although they often can).

I got an e-mail last week about this on an M27. I told the guy it wasn't that unusual on the Soviet rifles, but I hadn't heard of it on a Finn before. He said he shot 3 or 4 inch groups at 100 yards and I told him I wouldn't be too concerned about it in that case!
