Are you shooting with the bayonet?? Some Mosin Nagants were sighted in with the bayonet. I've heard everywhere that it can make a difference.. believe it or not.

Ok, from what i have just researched on another Mosin Nagant Forum you would drift the front sight in the direction your gun is shooting at.

Move the FRONT sight to the Left if it is shooting Left...

Take a shot and basicly move the front sight to the hole in the target.

Use a hammer and a brass punch. And like they said, if it's shooting left, move the front sight to the left. How is your elevation, that one is trickier.

on my m44's i extend the bayonet to get it to the right. on 91/30's i drift the sight. use a sandbag under the front of the barrel when you do it and get someone else to hold the rifle for you. makes life easier!
