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: https://researchpress.uk/firearms/british-military-longarms/brunswick-rifle/

I knew I had read about it many moons ago!
