    First determine what moved and why.
    If it was just the sight it will have to be realigned and larger pins used to reset it.

        First, see if you can sight it with the sight as it is, it might have adjustment in it. If not, remove the front sight, align it properly, and drill with the new alignment for the larger pins.

          Mallet, .125" reamer, and matching pins.

          The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
          The others, well......they just never learn.

              Ur gonna have to punch the pins out then try to line it up by hitting it w a rubber mallet then Drill the pin holes a little bigger get some bigger pins a punch em back in. If it won't move when hitting w a mallet then ur gonna have to push the fs off a little bit then re align

                Have you fired the rifle yet? It may already be adjusted to compensate for the canted sight.
