    1917 rear sight help

    Picked up a Eddystone 1917 with excellent original barrel, and mostly eddystone parts less trigger guard and bolt (arsenal stamp on side)

    question is, it hadnt been handled much in decades. i flip up the rear sight, and when it locks into the upright position, its leaning forward a bit instead of standing straight up. Any remedies I can try?
