Why all the fuss about ways to affix a "M1903" front sight assembly on a 22" Krag barrel? Unless sight or barrel has been molested, the band is about .010" smaller than the barrel and must be opened up a tad to give a nice drive fit that won't move (even without filing a groove and installing the cross pin).

FWIW, the sight in question is the Model 1905. The actual M1903 sight, for the original rod bayonet 1903 rifle, is seldom encountered.
