	Took a much closer look at the sights and the sling on the rifle I acquired last Tuesday. The stamp on the sling though partially obliterated appears to me to read "Rock Island Arsenal *3". The last number of the date is the only one readable. The rear sight does have the "sgt peep" others have mentioned. The pics of the bore are after a good cleaning, but it looks good to me.

	The peep is on there in your pics, it can be pushed down so that you can see the notch.

Put a drop of oil on the pivot and loosened it up some. The detents provide a positive stop up or down. The aperture is pretty small.

	It's legal to drill it out and make it larger but I prefer the notch

	Link below is to a thread on CSP. It has some good pics and info about original Krag slings. Not trying to promote another site, just provide info provided to me. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links)
