    The spring holding the rear lobbing sight on is a WWII replacement. I have never seen a rifle with lobbing sights that had such a spring. The screw holding the front lobbing sight in is not the correct part, there should be a flat head screw with two spanner holes in it, underneath of which there should be a washer.

    Not sure what conclusions to reach but I would guess someone added these parts post service.

    Any idea where I can find a flat head screw with two spanner holes in it for the front volley site and a pre WWII spring holder for the rear volley site?
