A couple thoughts, does the rifle's front sight look original or may have been changed at some point in it's life?
And I suggest you do a little measuring of the height of both the front and rear blade sights above the bore centerline. Then the distance between the two sights. With a little math you can calculate whether the sights are reasonable or something is wrong. (If you want any help with this PM me and I can help)
