Welcome to carbines! The bolt catch is not a terrible problem, I have seen some originals with the same problem. A USGI type II or Type III adjustable rear sight MIGHT fit, but may not. Kahr/Auto Ordnance did not make the carbine totally mil-spec. Some parts interchange, and I have heard some don't. They use Green Mountain barrels, so they have potential (theoretically, at least) for decent accuracy. I have handled some that were nice little weapons, and some that weren't because of poor quality control. If yours is as good as you say, you re good to go, and it should serve you well. I have heard that they have improved the QC proplem recently, in response to some bad press. I hope so.
