Well, I recently acquired a very nice little Krag sporter. Only an 18-1/2" barrel and stocked Mannlicher-style with a nice little schnabel fore-end.

I'm going to work up some deer loads using both 150-grain and 180-grain jacketed bullets. I expect that this little carbine will kick like a mule with heavy loads -- any deer-sized load suggestions suitable to a small carbine gratefully accepted.

This little carbine is mounted with a three-leaf express sight. It has no name or model number on it -- so I'm hoping someone on the board will recognize it. None of the leaves is marked, and each has a vertically-adjustable insert. The leaves are all loose, so the previous owner carved a little block of wood to hold up whatever leaf it is used with.

Next question: the front sight ramp is fitted with a Lyman brass-bead post. The top of the ramp is cross-hatched but otherwise unmarked. It has grooves on each side for a hood -- can anyone ID the ramp for me (I would like to get a hood for it)?

Finally, the sling swivels are attached with knurled rings -- the center posts are sping-loaded (you can puch them in, and then they spring back out) -- how do you get these off?

TIA for any and all help.
