. . . Just found a reference to drilling and reaming the front sight hole. Must be another 30 caliber barrel being described, not Krag. . .

I suspect the hole in question is for the blade retaining pin - drilled straight then reamed to the taper that has frustrated so many who attempt removal in the wrong direction. :-X
