Can anyone tell me what the screw on the right side of the rear sight in the attached image is for?

Don't know the answer to your question. However, I can welcome you to the Winchester sight/site.

I believe it is used to secure the slide dovetailed into the buckhorn rear sight for fine tuning your sight picture if your elevator adjustment is a bit off.
