'Galvinator' - I 'honed' a rather beat-up 03A3 front-sight base to fit on the cut-down Krag's barrel. (This was a barreled/action that came with a model 1903 rifle rear-sight on it).
I pinned a 'shorter' commercial '03A3 blade in the base, because issue '03A3 blades were way too tall. IIRC - The front-sight combination was still too high and the rear-sight was set at 200 yards, to zero shots to hit 50 yard 'point of aim'. It was practical and looked far better than what came on the 'cut-down'. It cost me nothing but tinkering with reject parts. |
