IAI carbine rear sight stake?

[Harlan (Deceased)]

One of my relatives (and my shooting buddy) has a IAI-made M1 carbine (one of those commemorative models they sold a few years ago). He is having trouble getting the rear sight to stay "fastened". He wanted to find out:

1) How was the rear sight on this model fastened?

2) Any suggested "fix" if it won't stay tight?

Also, ballpark idea of worth/value if in ex. condition?

TIA!!

Rick,
There was a seller in Texas who had several on his table at many different shows. He was asking $450 each but they didn't seem to be moving very well.
I guess the value would be higher by the quantity of, and maker of the USGI parts it's assembled from (?)

How's the new CSP job working out? Are they matching stock in your 401K?
