Back site cant fix

[ashtontrist]

Please let me know if anyone can point me to or explain how to fix a rear sight cant on a SAR-1. I've seen front site cant and saw the fix for this, but the site leaf on my SAR-1 isn't in line with the front sight post and is pointed to the right. Any help will be appreciated.

This could unfortunately be one of those "looks thing" and not a problem with the rifle. The important question is does it shoot to point of aim? I have seen many SARs with very canted front or rear sight blocks, yet the rifle shoots to point of aim. I have also seen rifles that has the sight block straightened and then the rifle shoots to the side, needing to have the front sight pin moved almost fully to one side to correct it.

Check the rifle first to see if it shoots straight. If it doesn't, then straightening the block would bring it back to point of aim might be required.
