Hey everyone, as the subject suggest, I have an issue with my PKM's front sight. It seems to be slightly turned to the left, as bb's come out between the central post and the right blade when looking down the sights. Being 1.Airsoft and 2.An mg, it's not really a huge deal, but it just bothers me a little bit personally. The front sight is secured by two pins which go into grooves, which does not give it a ton of wiggle room, so I'm wondering if the issue is the barrel itself instead of the sight being askew. I don't know if there's much anyone can help with, but anything is appreciated, thanks.

I think you are right in thinking its the barrel. While I cant speak for the PKM, most replicas have some sort nut, bolt, or some other tension device to hold the outer barrel tight to the receiver. I used to have a very similar problem with my old M16, the barrel nut would be loose or not tight enough, so I could rotate the front triangle sight left and right with just a little bit of force. Best guess is either a nut or something is loose and the barrel was able to slip to the left, or it was just like that from the factory. I would look up how to disassemble your particular gun and pay careful attention when they talk about removing the outer barrel. Take the barrel out, inspect it, if nothings wrong, put it back in, line it up and tighten it up. That should fix it. Hope this helps.
