Mark: FWIW - The Redfield 'no-drill' rear sight commonly sells for $75 to $100 on ebay. Fortunately, this sight required no alterations to your Krag.

The sight did require the removal of the magazine cut-off switch and the use of a longer (Redfield made) side-plate screw.

A correct side-plate screw and the model 1896 cut-off lever are easy parts to find on ebay and from parts vendors (and should cost around $30, total).

The model 1896 carbine sight is hard to find for sale and expensive.

For display and shooting purposes, the model 1896 rifle sight is similar in appearance and can be bought with mounting screws for around $60.
