Title: installing front sight on 1896 carbine
Post by Battis32 on Feb 15^th, 2020 at 4:36pm

I'm returning to a project I never finished. I have an 1896 Krag carbine with no front sight. I bought a 1903 (slip on) sight. What's the best way to install it? Does there have to be a groove in the barrel for the spline? The splines are available at Numrich. What about epoxy?
