Yep, that's about what I thought. The patina seems to match between the rifle & sight and stock & handguard. But I kinda figured it'd be a long shot.

I was just curious because I was browsing through Brophy's book. Surprisingly it shows that they only made one Krag rifle in 1904 with a 1901 sight, which is what mine has. Wishful thinking.
