Upon receiving an original front sight cover for my 1898 long rifle, I quickly confirmed that my front sight was much to tall (see photo).  Poyer's reference states that the tallest U.S. Krag sight measured .41", so I was not surprised when mine measured .48"!  The sight looks pretty legitimate in every other way, but I still suspect this is some sort of aftermarket thing.  However, before I attempt to replace it, is anyone aware of taller sights ever being issued or used for this model or any other Krag?  Would just hate to remove or destroy something that might otherwise be rare.  I'm pretty sure that's not the case, but just wanted to ask the experts before I do anything.  MANY thanks!
