1918 Arty observation

I saw a 1918 Artillery posted for sale that had adjustable sights. The pistol had been refinished at some time in the distant past. I'm assuming the only way that a fine tune front sight could be possible would be with a barrel change correct? The numbers are advertised as matching with some parts force matched but didn't specify the barrel. The rear fine tune sight obviously is an easy swap. Just wondering if my assumption is right. Saw it on gunbroker today and thought it might be a decent shooter if not too expensive.
