RPK Windage-adjustable rear sight

[hcpookie]

Mail-ordered one up a few weeks ago and finally got it on the rifle. Found that the body section that runs parallel to the rifle has a slight bend, so that when looking at the sight the right side appears slightly higher than the left side. Just enough to be noticed, and probably not enough to affect accuracy.

Question - what would be the best way to resolve this problem? I'm thinking of putting the sight in a vise and attempting to flex the sight to correct the bend. I don't think a hammer would help here.

Thoughts?

Should work! Just take your time in doing that. Don't flex it to much that it breaks! :D

Could you put almost the whole sight in the vise and just "crush" it until its straight again?
