Adam, I suspected they didn't have much value; and, no I don't have slings, etc.

Since you seem familiar with both, you may be aware that they both have a tendency to shoot very high at distances under 100 yards or so when using the existing iron sights. I read somewhere that it's just the nature of the beast and a common problem that some Dutch soldiers overcame by filing a front sight on their bayonet (that sight being higher than the one at the muzzle). Do you know if there is a replacement front sight currently available to overcome this matter?

The Dutch carbine has a bayonet mount. Do you know of a source for a bayonet?
