Title: Re: Sight Offset Question

gunboat57: You may have to lathe turn your 24" Krag barrel and have a 'step' machined on the muzzle area to allow a 1903 Springfield front sight band to be fitted. It is unlikely the 1903 front sight band will just slip on. Once in place, the difference in diameter of the barrel, in front of and behind the '03 base, will not be noticeable.
