Looks to me like all those sights slide down the barrel as one unit.

I'm trying to remember who made a rifle which shot belted balls, and yes No Powder, they look like Saturn, sort of. Darn it, I just can't recollect which military rifle used them. I looked up the Ferguson and the Hall, both were breach loaders but nothing on belted bullets.... Ah, got it, the Brunswick Rifle:

I knew I had read about it many moons ago!
