Title: 2nd Krag Post by TexTenn59 on Aug 21st, 2016 at 2:22am
I picked up my second Krag today after a long search of gun stores looking for a "correct" Krag. My first one was a cut down with 1903 front sight.
It's a 1898 model with a 1900 cartouche, serial number 271606 which should be correct year for 1900. It's in decent shape with just a little rust in bore, nice patina on metal, but some rusty spots here and there. Assuming it shoots and functions correctly, I would like to take it to Camp Perry next year for the Roosevelt match. The rear sight looks to me to be a 1896. I'd like to swap this out with a rear sight with windage adjustment. Which rear sight with windage adjustment would be "correct" for this rifle? 1898_Rear_Sight.JPG ( 91 KB | 1
