When you look down the barrel, is the front sight canted before or after the 12:00 o'clock position???

It appears to be only off a degree or two; if too far after 12:00 o'clock, the shoulder could be stippled to adjust the interference fit. If before, a bit of polishing or rubbing compound could possibly remove enough to make it fit correctly.

Easy fix. I would be more concerned with the surface where someone attempted to 'fix' it themselves.

Like the LAR long-barreled 1920, yours also has the toggle rear sight as well as the artillery barrel rear sight. Does the toggle rear sight have a V notch? Can you tell if the barrel rear sight base is integral or soldered on? Kenyon comments on both styles.

Interesting. Might even be original DWM barrel. Looks like fun.
