The best front sight on a trade gun I built was off just a hair to the left. It was actually a solder on underlug for a round barrel. But when I got out and really practiced shooting the gun I found I didn’t need to move the sight at all. My trade gun has a 30 inch barrel, and I did have to bend it slightly to get the elevation right. But I found that if I used the apex where the sight and base intersected as a peep sight she was dead on. This little trade gun shot like a rifle out to about a hundred yards or a little farther.
