Title: Early prototype rear sight base? Post by butlersrangers on Jan 26th, 2018 at 12:13am
These unused & unfinished Springfield Armory sight bases have been around forever.
That they shared components with the model 1902 Krag sight is unmistakable. Does anyone know what they were really for? I have seen mention of 1900 or 1901 Springfield prototype? They are made of steel with an ID of .798 inch on the barrel rings, which is too small for Rod-Bayonet 1903 Springfield. Pretty cool machine work! They look new, but, are old. (A Krag 1902 sight leaf inserted for drama)! |

Hi BR,
Ran across this listing on Gun Broker for a 1903 Springfield Rod bayonet rifle. The sight base looks kinda familiar. (You need to Login |

A M1903 barrel will screw into a M1902 receiver
, but the diameter of the M1902 barrel could have been small enough for this base to fit. I believe I have seen a picture of a pile of M1902 ( AKA m1901 ) barrels in the white with the sight bases installed. |
