I think it's safe to say that we can have just one thread on this topic rather than three.
LOL I had counted 4. Anyway, what kind of ammo are you using?

You didn't say which model M/N you have; if it's an M91/30 your sight radius is 24 1/2", so (assuming 100 yards) every inch you need to move the POI on the target, move the front sight 0.0068" in the opposite direction. (Divide 24.5" by 3600", the number of inches in 100 yards.)
Example: your shots are hitting 12" to the left of the bullseye; so you want to move the POI right 12". Using a hammer & punch (or a screw-type adjustment tool, if you prefer), drift the front sight (12 x .0068") 0.0816" to the left. 0.0816" converts to slightly less than 3/16", if you are using a regular ruler to measure.
As a reference, before you begin adjusting your sight, use the point of a razor knife or sharp blade to notch indexing marks on the moving and stationary parts of your front sight, so you know how far you've moved it.
For the sight radius value of other M/N variants, go here: http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinSpec.htm
You'll spend more on gas and admission ($8) to a Maryland gun show, plus the markup, than if you buy online and pay shipping. AIM Surplus is about the best place to buy milsurp 7.62x54R from. After shooting milsurp, be SURE and promptly clean your chamber and bore with window cleaner, followed by an immediate drying and oiling, after every shooting session. Don't wait until the next day, do it when you get home from the range.
Personally, if I found a M/N good enough to shoot 2" groups at 100 yards, I wouldn't shoot it with corrosive milsurp ammo anyway.
Where do you find these tins of 440 without having to buy it online?

Just started using it, but it can help you find some good deals. If you enter your zip code it will also factor in shipping. Half-cocked also has it in his signature, not sure if you noticed it.
I didn't know that, thanks Squeky! Yet another reason why MDS is the best shooting community around!That site is from MDS member "Squeky". Great site for finding lots of stuff.
