Burke, Welcome to the Lugerforum...
I think that you may be our youngest member... the last guy in his teens to join was Brandon... several years ago... he should be approaching 20 by now...
the rear sight on the Artillery Luger is supposed to be canted to the left as it is raised to compensate for the rifling twist...
Please do take some good photos of your guns and post them. The Artillery may not be as bad as you think it is... we can tell you a good bit about your guns from photographs.
