There are a wealt of good pictures at the front pagehis web site with all different of t versions and types of makes and models for you to look at. If you have needs for mote detail I am sure the members here that have the 1998 models will be glad to help. I have 3 model 1894 rifle, a model 1896 carbine and a model 1898 cut down, but my cut down 98 is not one for pictures as it is a parts only gun and the Bubba the did the damage to the wonderful rifle should be beat down with what is left of the rifle. Welcome aboard the site, hope we can help you out as much as possible! What part of Frace do you Live in? I live in the RIchmond Virginia area.

Francois:  Your Krag has to have an interesting, but untold history (a 'sporterized' U.S. Krag that got to Europe).  More detailed photographs of your front sight, diopter rear sight, and stock would allow forum members to offer insights about your rifle.  How long is the barrel on your Krag?  You said the front sight is a Lyman.  Is it possible that the front sight base is a 1903 Springfield 'banded' sight base that is holding a Lyman blade?   I think your diopter sight is an early Lyman 48k.

I will take ASAP some pics of the Lyman front sight and the diopter sight.
The barrel is 54cm / 22 in. long
