did I miss the discussion on this rig?

Could someone explain how the ramped front sight on a carbine is made and/or attached to the barrel ?

Is it brazed/silver soldered on the barrel once the barrel is shaped/turned ?

Or is it milled out of a barrel block as one piece ?

Or other methods...???

This might give some clue as to whether the threaded ends of the muzzle on this particular muzzle are original to the carbine or done as a bit of rework (i.e. 1920's era, possibly...).

If a rework, the ramped front sight would have to had been moved back to make room for the threading on the end of the muzzle.

Regards,
