AK47 front sight help

[TTR]

I bought a WASR10 AK47 last week and didn't notice the front sight was tilted to the left a little bit. Not much but maybe less than an 1/8". I mean the entire front sight housing that fits directly onto the barrel and seems to be attached with 2 pins.

Now the windage adjustable sight in the middle was set to the right.

My questions are:

1. Can this be fixed?
2. Do they test fire these guns before sale and was the front sight set to the right to compensate for the housing off to the left?

I have the windage and elevation tool to set the front sight but can the housing itself be corrected and how would I do it?

I went back to the gun dealer and asked to see another AK just like mine and the same condition was present just in the opposite directions.

Any help would be appriciated.

WASR10 sights

Century Arms seemed to get sloppy with some of the last batches of WASR 10's. Couple months back the problem was the gas system leaning off to the side, now the sight housing. I don't believe they made compensating adjustments or sighted in the gun... Good news however, I've had a couple problem guns bought from Century via Dunham's Sporting Goods and Century repaired or replaced as required. Your dealer should handle return shipping and notify you when the gun has been repaired and returned. Mine took about 2 weeks turn around and were "fixed" when I got them back.
