Title: Help finding correct rear sight on 1898 Krag
Post by ArizonaTravis on Mar 2nd, 2020 at 7:15pm
Hello everyone,
I am attempting to restore my grandfathers old 1898 Krag. It is a sportified gun and has a solid single pillar front sight. It fires great and the bolt is still silky smooth. I took off the cheap scope that had been placed on this gun which it appears my grandfather drilled two holes into the gun to attach. This does not seem to effect its function. I have been attempting to locate a correct rear sight for this gun but have been having some problems. In googling, I have found most returns come back to a rectangular sight with an elevation slide that attaches with two screws, in front and back. However, I cant find where this would attach on my gun.

If anyone knows what sight, either original or a close to original as possible would fit this gun, I would be most grateful. I have attached a couple of photos hoping this will help.

Thanks

P.S. If I have posted this in the wrong area, I apologize and will move it if needed.
