I fell into a great Mod15 at the gunshow last week. Pristine blueing, 8" full lug barrel and pachy grippers. Also came with what I now know is an EWK barrel wrench. And since no one was looking at anything that didn't have a hicap mag I walked out the door with it for $300. Finally got the chance to shoot it and even with my cast reloads that I have for my snubby it was shooting a nice 2inch group at 25yrds (off the bench of course, I'm good, just not Bruce Willis good). The problem is, even after I ran the rear blade all the way to the right my POI is still about 2 inches to the left of POA. I was wondering if there was some way to fix this sight or buy another that has more right side adj or failing that I would like to put some glass on it. What are my options for scope rails?

I own a several DW's, and I have seen exactly the same thing happen, and I don't know why some of them seem to have that same tendency. The suggestion I have is to hold the shroud very firmly "right" while you tighten the barrel nut, which can tend to twist the shroud left, especially if the shroud locating pin on the frame fits loosely in the shroud.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I put on a site of fiber optic front sights on all my 4 pistol pack barrels, but they probably wouldn't be any better. Good luck finding a scope mount. B-Square no longer makes them, Dan Wesson (CZ) has been out of stock on them for years.
Saw this if you want to spend the big bucks.

I don't have any pictures of My Dan Wesson with the fiber optic sights on them, but it sort of looks like the front sight of my 10mm.
I got them at EWK.

There is definately some play in the fit of the pin to the shroud. I feel like the holding right while tightening might fix this. The only rail I can find is the Weigand. I've used his mounts on Taurus and Rugers and been happy with them. Gonna try with irons first, but I think I have a set of 86 year old eyes stuck in my 43 year old head.
