    is it the iron sights or an optical sight you've put on it afterwards?

    right well you wanna set up a target or something like that about 20metres away from where you will be firing. to set the hop up you wanna hole the gun so you can look down the side of it and fire and see if the bb is curling up, down or straight. you want it to be going as straight as you can.

    as for the sight you will have to adjust the back sight over to the left....this should help compensate for the bb going to the right.

    the only thing that should make it curl to the side should be wind....

    the hop up will curl it up or down not side to side.

    Clean the barrel out, using a clean soft cloth on the cleaning rod, loosely at fist, then a tighter wrap as the barrel is cleaner each time.

    This may sort it.

    If not, its a poorly installed hop rubber, which would require taking the hop apart, and reseating the hop. Thats a more delicate job, but one easily doable if you are careful.

    Keep the inside of the hop dry, and use a little oil on the outside to slip it back into the hop body. You wnat to ensure the hop rubber is not rotated on the barrel, or the barrel rotated in the hop body.

    Are they curling to the right or just shooting to the right? Adjust your sights to bring your shots on target and review again before messing with your hop-up.

    Probably common sense but make sure when zeroing the sights that you're taking the same point of aim each time, have a stead shooting platform, are adjusting the sights in smallish increments, are shooting reasonably level and aren't shooting in a windy environment.
