AK bore sighter alignment issue

[Fern]

Finished my romy g build with original barrel but haven't had a chance to test fire it though. But I bought a bore sighter just because, and as the laser exits the barrel it is noticeably off center to the right. Anyone else encounter this?

Yep, they're junk

Ya I thought of this so I spun the bore sighter in the chamber, removed it and reinstalled it countless times and got the same result. My question really was could have pressing the barrel in cause the barrel to bend, is it due to quality control, damaged while importation or storage. I supose any of the above is possible. I had initially looked down the barrel and noticed what I thought was a slight curve but I thought I was being paranoid. Either way it is what it is but I wish I had the bore sighter before the demilling, more so before assembly. I will definatly check my next build beforehand.

You may want to check this post. This one is for the kind that is inserted at the muzzle.

Its really hard to boresight a Ak-47. When sighting in a AK-47 is why diffrent from any other gun. Everthing on the sights run the other way. Cant use a laser. You can use a leupold boresighter. Send me a message if you need help.

Well my dumb***** removed the warning sticker on the boresighter and its a lot better. Still points a smidge to the right but 90% better. Still don't know why when I spun the boresighter it didn't change anything before I removed the warning sticker but I'll mess with it some more.

HAHA! That sounds like some sh** I'd do.

Eh...skip the lazer, and just use the nearest zombie to check your sights.
