Hi again,

The weapon was disassembled already and a plan is just to restore it. Goal is a good period correct shooter. The old after market sights are shown too.

The after market front sight was removed, the outline of the old original sight that was ground down can be seen. What's interesting is the original sight looks like it was brazed and dovetailed in. Looks like I can get a gunsmith to mill or file away what's left to present a good front stud seat for a replacement front sight.

Since there are no markings/gouges on the barrel near the chamber, looks like the original barrel for the receiver. Headspace is good and the end of the barrel is not shot out. Has a "P" on the barrel.

From the rear sights that browningautorifleicon showed, what would be the best bet for an original rear sight assembly to get.

Regards, James
