58 rem,shooting left(badly)

[hkbarker]

I have a euroarms Rem,58 and it shoots to the left,(badly)I have fitted a TC adj.rear sight and even when cranked fully to the right cannot get within 10 inches of the centre.The front sight is over as far as it can go (to the left).Is the frame,barrel or whatever out of alignment to cause this effect and does anyone have any ideas how to correct the problem or is it a lost cause.Feel free to offer your advices.

Regards Hotelbravo

The muzzle may be badly crowned, or there could be a burr inside the muzzle. See if a slightly larger ball shoots differently.

What sights did it have before you fitted the TC ones? Did it shoot that far off then too? If not, it may be the way the new sights are mounted. Perhaps not centered properly? Just pulling guesses out of thin air to try and eliminate some possibilities.

-----Is the barrel turned into the frame properly? could need a nudge to the left-----

Is the bore centered in the barrel? I have seen some guns where it wasn't

Thanks to you all for your suggestions,but my friend who is a top gun here in Australia fired 6 shots into a target at 25 Meters,the result a group of about 4 inches,his usual standard is about 2 inches sometimes less and then advised me to get back to basics and concentrate on trigger control, I have another 44 which doesnt give me any problem. I guess I'll flog the gun off and stick to the one that works for me,

Thanks again for all your comments
