I got the right screws in the mail, attached the sight, and took the carbine out for a range trip.. I shot some Remington ammo I bought when I first got my M1898 rifle.  Everything worked fine.  Attached are pictures of how she sits now.

Ronki53 - Your 1899 Krag carbine appears quite handsome. You did a nice job restoring the 1898/1902 hand-guard.

Some of those 03 sights have very fine elevation adjustment.  You either have to be able feel pretty good, or put your specs on to see how much you've moved.  I have one of the 98 rifle ramps with the finely serrated leaf on one of my 92/96 rifles.  The outer notches have been ground off and has a V cut in the center notch.  It's closer to being on with the higher velocity 180gr factory load than the 02 sight.
