Looks to me that whoever installed that Micro rear sight removed a LOT of metal from the top strap.
That's usually the case but since it's mounted over the top of the original sight, the top strap may not be cut.

But if it has been cut, I've fixed that before with a little tig welding. It'll require a re-blue but it's already been refinished once anyway.

At the same time I would replace the rebound slide pin with a domed pin, original pre war style. It was likely polished flat even by the factory because they refinished in 1950 and that was the protocol after the war.
