I'll have to cast a couple of bullets from pure lead tomorrow and check the groove diameter.
I thought that I might need to remove the pins and tap the front sight to the left.
Since the rear sight groove is so small I'm wondering if I might be aligning more on the left side of the rear sight. So, I'm going to widen the rear sight groove a little bit, probably let a gun smith friend remove the front sight pins and help with the alignment.
Thanks everyone, I was thinking I might be the only one with this problem.
I'll keep you updated
