What kind of front sight/front sight blade did the Springfield Armory install on their DCM/NRA sporter rifles? Here is the photo of the one on mine. As I've mentioned earlier, I know next to nothing about these rifles. Is that front sight blade an aftermarket replacement, a military blade modified to accept the brass bead insert, or what the Armory used on their sporters? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

Aftermarket replacement. The Sporter was sold with a standard Armory front blade. I'm kind of surprised one doesn't see more of them with commercially made beaded front sights. At least that would've been the first thing I would have done with it after prying the lid off the shipping crate in 1928.

Thanks, Gary. I'm going to leave things as they are.
