'Stoney' - Actually, your receiver is drilled and tapped for only two receiver-sight screws - (green dots).

The red arrow indicates the hole (original) for the pin that retains the Krag's Ejector. Normally, this hole is covered by the top-rear of the Magazine Side-Plate.

Some of your side-plate and some wood have been cut away to accommodate a commercial receiver-sight base.

Your ejector-pin hole needs to be covered, by either a replacement side-plate or receiver sight. Otherwise, you risk having the ejector-pin and ejector falling out of your Krag.
