I don't think it's me...

[RetPara]

Have an undated (yet) M1 Carbine inherited from my late FIL.

I've cleaned it up dressed it up. Could be a cool little rifle to shoot.

The issue is that it fires way to the right. On the paper at the outer edge at 25 yards. Using the iron sights. I have the rear aperture cranked all the way to right to move the round. Still hitting 8 inches right of bulls eye.

Right after that I fire my Ruger M77 HB in 308 with a new Mueller scope. The scope had just been installed and bore sighted. Walked it up the target to the bulleye.

If I was jerking or something else with the Carbine, it would of shown shooting the Ruger also.

Anyone else seen something like this or have idea?

I had a similar problem with my son's Rem 597 .22. I don't know why. I think a barrel can become fractionally warped by overheating or some machining flaw during manufacture. Just guessing.

If your carbine is way off at such short range it's gotta be the gun.

I hate to say this. But have you tried moving the rear sight to the left?

Right on, that may be your problem brother. I have made that mistake as well so you are not the first.

Crooked bullets!

Bullshit. I roll the bullets on a table first. If they don't roll right, use a hammer on them to even 'em out.

If you can snap a picture of the front sight assembly, I can give you some specific advice.

Some are pressed on, some are clamped on, some have a front post adjustment, and sometimes the sight itself can be canted. A lot to try this try that advice on here. A couple of pictures would make it pretty easy.
