OK, so I'm leaning towards carefully removing and replacing the 1901 hand guard and then having a gunsmith install period front and rear sights. Or maybe a Kraghaus rail for a red dot.
Can I just leave the hand guard off, or do I need wood on top of the barrel so the band fits well?
The plugged holes are 2.375 inches center-to-center (or thereabouts) so is that an 1898 rear sight or a 1901?
