The camming of the rear sight to the left is intended to compensate for the drift of the bullet at long ranges due to the right hand spiral imparted by the rifling. It does not happen before the bullet has left the barrel but is, as you suspect, designed to overcome the tendency for the flight of the bullet to drift during flight. __________________ If it's made after 1918...it's a reproduction
