It's probably had a match sight of some sort attached. The holes appear to be for right-hand & left-hand attachment of the fitting which is presently on the left. I don't know what ADJUST HERE refers to - the sight, presumably.
Taking a closer look makes this rifle even more strang than it already was. What for is the pin attached to the bolt, which would push the metal thing on the left side forward when closing the bolt? This kind of lever would move something which would have been mounted with those holes, but what would need to be moved when opening and closing the bolt?
Very unusual.
I think the items on the left side might actually be some kind of set trigger conversion - i.e. something inside is set when the pronged flange is cammed forward by the pin on the cocking piece as the bolt closes. The "adjust here" presumably gives access to the set trigger mechanism on the sear.
The brass bracket on the left doesn't seem to relate to any of the normal types of target sight.
The holes on the right side look superficially like the action-centering screws on a Fultons No1, but in this case they are not positioned over any metal points.
Yes, set trigger sound plausible - though why you would bother is the question .
Just wonder if the bits what remain are something to do with making a device work such as a camera shutter etc, the pin on the cocking piece would operate the fork/ lever at the side when fired ?
Can anyone tell if this is an LSA?
