You say you probably wouldn't have missed it I'm thinking your probably right it's hard to miss a loose off face gun.
Just a thought, I'll bet someone at sometime fixed that gun slipshod like gluing a shim in place or maybe even soft solder. I'm thinking whatever process the restorer used melted out that fix or evaporated it, and he probably never knew it was there.
Just a though it could explain how it ended this way.
One way or another I would fix that before I worried about where it shoots.
