Hi Stu,
The second match holder doesn't move so I reckon you're correct re its use.

I am not sure regarding the front sight so I have attached some more photos that maybe help. Thanks for your interest.
My Regards,
Norman.

Yeah, thats a bit out for sure. Wouldn't worry too much. Lots of these have operational mods to the ends of the barrels.
Especially with thinner walled barrels.
Rattly projectiles and strong loads seem to wear the tops of the end of the barrels more than elsewhere. That foresight could just possibly have been lost during a firing.

Having now seen the extra pics I agree that my previous "idea" is not valid. Bit missing for sure although the foresights I have seen on these muzzleloaders are generally only a peg type.
