the rear sight block is canted on my Draco. Can anyone advise on how to straighten it out?

Drive out the pin.press the rear sight block forward, to get access to the pin slot in the barrel.. weld up the pin slot and redrill it in the correct position... a lot if times all you have to do in a add a small spot of weld on one side of the pin slot.. to adjust a cant.. reinstall the pin, easy as that...

Most of the time you don't need to weld it up again and drill.

I have moved them and then just redrilled the existing hole and they have held fine.

Hell, I guess the saigas that are coming in aren't even pinned. Their barrels parts are dimpled onto the barrel.

Be prepared to give some elbow grease into that rear sight block. They can be on there pretty tight. Make sure the sight leaf isn't the one thats canted instead of the rear sight block
