Marlin 336 Texan barrel/sights look wrong

On my Marlin 336T the sights--both front and rear--are canted to the left a few degrees. Could it be that the barrel was threaded in a little bit too far? I would appreciate some advice on how to fix this problem and/or recommendations for a good gunsmith to fixt it. Thanks.
