    Lol. True. I meant the shots started falling to the right. And got progressively worse printing further right.

    Correct. And the ones I have seen are not loose. The slots for the retaining pins are just drilled kak skew. SO it is solid enough, but cosmetically really odd

    Yeah pretty normal thing, Very important to check the straightness of any AK before purchase. I have seen some Saiga AKs with canted front sights. even the show offy Saiga one at Huntex in 2015 had a canted sight. You know the kalashnikov stand that had that Russian guy there..., who was a dick.... I have even seen a Norc that had everything canted, front sight, trunion and stock.

    Marginally front heavy. But I have gorilla arms, and can at least get hand forward on this one.

    The main problem with fitting it was actually that it looks slightly off centre because of the front sight post.

    Front heavy is advantageous when it results in keeping the nose down under recoil.
    There are no stupid questions ........ just stupid people
