Here is a noob question. I only ask because I read a discussion where someone said to drift the sight blade pin out from the right to the left. I always thought drift to remove things was always left to right but maybe because the dove tail drifts out left to right then the pin is opposite?

I'm dumb and realized I just need to drift the front sight base to the left to get the poi to the right. Just a tap while at the range should do it or maybe I'll use a small vice. I have some other front sight tools for an Enfield and another rifle that might work to shift it.

Edit: I'm reading front sight bases would installed with a brazing. Is this true? If it is then I shouldn't just drift it.
