    No, they do not make a clamp on bayonet lug for the carbine.
    A barrel band is held on the stock by a single screw.  On most carbines, that screw is staked so that the screw can be loosened, but not easily removed. 
    You lost me with the thing that has 3 screws that aren't screws.  You may be looking at rivets on the bayonet lug, which cannot be removed without destroying the lug.
    The front sight should only be removed/replaced by a gunsmith.  The front sight key usually needs to be replaced because it is made of soft metal, & you don't have a few spare sight keys or the tools required.
