Krag Rear Sight and Hand Guard

I have a Krag model 1896 rifle I have had for years.  I have a question the rear sight looks like what I believe to be a 1892 sight but the hand guard has about a 1/2 linch space in the between the end of the sight and the handguard.  I dont know much about these rifles so I would appreciate any help on this.

JoeA:  Right Click on the "Visit the KCA Website today" when the banner appears at the top of the forum page.  This will take you to the Main Page.  If you then select 'photos' and scroll down the photo page, you will see photos of different model Krag sights and handguards.  This will probably allow you to identify what you have.  I'm thinking you might have an 1898/1902 style handguard.

The sight base seems to be a type 1, I believe some one may have modified the handguard because it really doesnt look ike any fron the pictures.  Where can I get an 1896 handguard?
