Weapon Mounting Problems

I am new to Torque 3d and making games in general. I learned some of the basics of T3D (there needs to be more tutorials, seriously), and am also learning a little of 3dsmax. I created a gun in 3dsmax, imported it into torque, set up a mountPoint node and a muxxlePoint node. Either the gun floats out a bit, is above the charater's head, or is on the correct mount point, yet facing downwards. I can't get it to point straight. Any ideas?
