At your age, get the bigger hole.  I'm 56, the smaller the hole the fuzzier the front sight for me.

I bought .050 and .093 sights.  I thought I'd use the .050 for target and .093 for hunting.  Turned out that the .050 was too small for any purpose for me.  I'm 56.

It's done.
Here's my M1899 constabulary carbine clone. Shortened 1902 rifle stock, repro handguard.

Francois: Your Krag appears very nice. You did a good job matching the wood finish of your Stock and Hand-guard. I hope your Krag is a real 'tack driver' for you (a very accurate rifle)! It is good to see a Krag in France. Enjoy.

I guess the photo of my school gun (above) is only - and theoretically at that - "safe" from unauthorized copying while on the original host site?

I don't know Dick. I have never copied any of your photos.

I try to use my own pictures or ones that are already in the public domain.

Wasn't you, Chuck, but rather "oxi81". However, I believe I have used that one on this board, so it is available - but that is why I started to mark them.

Ned - you do not need to take it down, but thanks for offering to do so. Guess I was just 'thinking out loud' and probably should have kept it to myself.

There is a guy in the midwest who runs a sort of "museum on line" that HAS managed to copy several of my pics, as well as many from Ken McPheeters and a host of others, all without credit or note of any sort. He doesn't even have the courtesy to respond to emails.

Going back under my rock, now.  Smiley

Hi Dick. Sorry, I missed your answer.
Don't worry, I used your picture for this thread and on this forum only.  Wink

Hello, and thanks for the note. Not a problem - after all, it was me who put the pics out there - and - I have since learned that it IS possible to copy them from my hosting site even though they let you believe it isn't. Have a great day.
