Hi, the Diana model 25 came in last night and for most part, everything seems ok. The rear sight however is very canted/crooked. Attached are some pictures. The last pic from the muzzle end shows a good shot of it, although the rear sight is blurred - was unable to get the camera to focus on it. There was no damage inside the shipping box, so I'm pretty confident that this did not occur during shipment.
I did send an email to the seller about it. Depending on how things progress there, is there a way it can be fixed? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. The sight itself seems to be centered well on the receiver tube, just the rear sight blade seems to be off somehow.
Thank you,
Alex

It's steel. Bend it back to the correct shape. Since barrels are bent to align with sights you should be able to straighten that sight right out.

Thank you. Just have to figure out how to get it off. There aren't any screws, but pins held in by what looks to be very small e-clips.
The rest of the rifle seems good.

Ok, got the e-clip off for the rear sight blade. It's definitely bent, so I'll see about getting it over to my dad's workshop and straightening it out in a vice.
Thank you again.
