Title: Plugs for rear sight screw holes?
Post by WJU on Nov 5^th, 2011 at 7:58pm

Does anyone make screws to plug the factory rear sight screws holes of a 1898 US Krag? I have an old sporter that I hunt with. I would like to keep the factory screw holes in my barrel in good shape should I ever decide to put a 1902 sight back on.

If not, does anyone know what the factory thread pattern was? Size? How many Threads per inch? (TPI) The plugs would have to be shorter than the factory mounting screws.
