i have three questions. the seventh photo of this auction shows the three screws on the side of the receiver, the two screws towards the front do not look right because the area around the outside looks darker than the rest of the receiver (screw heads too small?).the back screw looks ok. second, was there a rear sight at one time because of the discoloration on the tang. if so was that sight mounted with the screw at the back of the receiver, seen on all 8/81,s. third, what is the flat button at the top front of the trigger guard. one more, is the barrel suppose to stick out farther than the shroud

1. as far as I can tell from the pictures the screws look normal

2. there does appear to have been a tang sight installed at one point (marbles or lyman) and yes it would have used the factory tang screw hole.

3. the flat button above the trigger guard is the magazine indicator, this assembly releases the bolt forward after it's been locked back after the last round.

4. The barrel is suppossed to stick out further than the shroud.
