It is in a dovetail machined block,so just lightly tap the sight with a light hammer and all should be ok(if not welded)
Oh by the way ,lube the sight underneath before.

I recently acquired this old bsa air rifle, however not shot it yet as i need to inspect the internals first. Also noticed the whole rear site block is off to one side far from being centered. Does anyone know how the sight block is held in place is it welded or does it just slide? I see a way of adjusting left right aim pont. Any ideas boys? Many Thanks

Usually a good idea to get a bit of "Plus Gas", Wd 40 or similar round the sight about 4 days before you attempt to move it. It does help.

I would try it first, it may be to one side for a reason, recently did a standard for that reason, it was way of
Centre when shooting and the owner was fed up with it.
I shot it and to get it on target had to drift back sight well off centre, the forsight was already over as far as possible, I think in its life time someone may have stumbled and put weight on it sideways? John
