    Do you remember what the 2 screws (1 on either side) below the front sight are for?

    I initially thought that they could be the "axle" that the flapper valve operated on, but now after viewing the drawings, I'm thinking that they were meant to hold the front sight fixture to the tube "fixing" that was simplified to a single socket screw on the production gun?
