'148th' - More on your 1st rifle, #23624.

I am guessing your sights are canted to the right?

I don't know where your barrel came from or if it is an original Krag barrel?

I was finally able to squirrel around and look at your pictures.

Two observations:
1. The front-sight is a reproduction (and it doesn't look very securely attached).

2. The barrel was not fully screwed in to the index mark.

I wonder what the barrel notch for the extractor looks like?

FWIW - Numrich use to sell a reproduction barrel with a front-sight installed. Criterion makes a 30" barrel for the Krag, which requires installation of a front-sight.
