Is the base of the artillery rear sight supposed to be perfectly flat (on bottom) or have a slight 'arch' to it???

This is the part which slides into the large dovetail in the barrel (not the leaf).

I am wondering if it is intended to have a slight spring action [the arch]?

It seems awfully fragile...and soft...
