'rcathey' posted an undated American Rifleman article, by J.R. Mattern, "The Krag After 40 Years", on the Military Surplus Collectors Forums.
Given the title, the article likely appeared around 1932 to 1934. The Pacific and "Western" (Redfield) 'no-drill' rear sights were new products at the time of the article's publication.
