What I would do with the end of the pins sticking out is either one of two things:
1) Measure the distance, push them out and shorten accordingly, press back in.
2) File down close, then stone to flush.
Even seeing it assembled I can't really figure out why the print called for that 120º feature on the cylinder that carries the 1/4-40 lateral (windage?) adjustment assembly. It would seem more appropriate to have something like that on the bottom tab to act as a stop for when you flip it up for use.
Sure looks a heck of a lot better then one of them little buckhorn sights they put on top of the barrel.
I have no idea what that bump is for, I'll ask the guy that loaned me the print.
As for as it being on the bottom to act as a stop, that's what the little dip that's in the mounting tab is for there is a spring that engages that notch when you flip the sight up into position. I could see it on the bottom to act as a stop for when you lay the sight down flat cause it flips back over the top of the stock.
the two pins well I know a guy that's got access to a surface grinder which will make it a lot easier too get them down without messing up your work. As far as pressing them out, the top one is in pretty tight.
