    I'll look at moving the rear sight, but it seems like I looked at that once before. I think it is screwed to the barrel. I will look again.

    I got a suggestion in an e-mail to look at the pivot screw. I'm thinking that may be where part of the problem is.

    Thanks to all for your suggestions.

    I'd think bending the barrel is a last resort. Check that front sight and the pivot on the rear. You may be able to get by with a replacement rear slider and drifting the front.

    Barrels on occasion need straightening.

    You could make a slider to push down the bore to check for the spot that needs bending. A brass rod might work.
