Unless a local member post that they have some or all of the parts, I would suggest signing up on the CMP forums and posting a WTB ad. BTW you will likely not find a front sight pin. Most people make due by using an appropriate sized roll pin or modifying a small nail. Below are a few links with some tips on installing the rear sight without damaging it...

As for the bayonet mentioned in your other thread...you will need the 10" M1 version (bottom bayonet in first two photos and middle bayonet in last photo below). I would also suggest purchasing one on the CMP forums. It will save you $20-$30 over the retail prices that you see on eBay. You might try contacting Dupage Trading as well. They recently sold a large batch of 10" M1's for only $30 plus shipping.
