This might be the wrong section to post this but maybe somebody can help.

Seems my dad liked shooting my 92/96 Krag rifle so much a few weeks ago he decided he wanted one. He really likes carbines but unfortunately an original Krag carbine was too pricey.

With that, dad bought an original NRA sporter that's in great shape but it's missing the rear sight. What sight did these carbines originally come with? I'd think Springfield would've just left the original 1898 rifle rear sight that was probably on it but I'm not sure.

Also, did these sporters retain the original hand guard after modification or was it discarded? This one is missing the hand guard so I wasn't sure.

Thanks in advance for any help.
