M95 front sight adjustment

OK, how do I adjust the front sight? Mine came in a full left position and I'd like to return it to center before firing the weapon.

Use a brass punch or even the rim of a fired cartride and a small hammer and tap back the other direction until it shoots where you want it to.

Where did you get your M95 from? I've got one coming from ClassicArms as soon as they process my order. Hopefully there won't be any running out of them issues like the last time I wanted a Mosin 91/59, then I tried for a Yugo 24/47. But if for some reason they are out of these, I'll opt for a Nagant revolver, and if they are out of those, then if they still have them I'll get one of their CZ 82 packages. And if they are all out of everything, then I'll just.....I don't know. Cry.

from Big-5 a few weeks ago when they went on sale. they have none (at my local stores) now, not even any Mosins.
