Shooting to right

Newbie question: Just got my FN/FAL. Good groups but to the right of center bull. Moved rear sight to left to max, but still shooting two clicks right of bull. Suggestions please, great groups but !!!!!!

Re-index the barrel.

One degree movement yields five inches shift in point of impact at 100 yards.

is this a rifle you built or bought? It would appear that your barrel was tightened too far when it was built. From the sound of your post you bought this rifle. You may want to consider exchanging it rather than wrenching on it to fix it.
