I am embarassed to even ask this question as I already own 14 other AK47/74 rifles. I just picked up a new Arsenal Saiga Legion last week from the gunstore. I am in the process of putting on Ukranian-Soviet era furniture when I noticed that there is a very slight cant to the right on the rear sight. You can only notice it if you stare at the rifle from a bird's eye view. I have been fortunate not to have ever had this problem before. Do you gentleman think that this will affect the accuracy of this weapon? Is this acceptable? Any suggestions? I am not really keen on sending this rifle as I have already put this valuable furniture on. Thank you for your time and input in advance.

Doesn't sound like a big deal to me.

Shoot it and see.

I've read that straightening out a canted sight block really isnt that big of a deal, though I have no firsthand experience with this.
Canted sights on an Arsenal, wow, I bet quite a few WASR owners are grinning now...

Anybody out there know about fixing a canted rear sight?

Is the front sight canted as well, do they align? I know Arsenal/Cugir are worlds apart but on my psl they simply canted the front to match the rear, open sight accuracy is very good. I would think Arsenal would be above this though & just make it right before sending it out.

An easy and quick fix. Just wack it real hard with a sleg hammer!

Tommo, I hope that comment was supposed to be sarcasm! Can anybody give me the scoop on what I need to do.

In the past, I have fix front sight post cant on AR rifles with a swift whack of a hammer handle so not to mar the finish and get them back to mechanical zero .

The front sight is fine, the rear sight is the one that is crooked.
