Thanks That will help out. I did some research and found that a Springfield m03 B P is almost the same thing. So close that they sell them as replacement for Krag. So I am going to find a old 03 B P and go from there. will line up. I will have to try and bend the bottom flat. That may be the problem. And a little off the inside where the catch hits and it may? fit. I just don't want to screw up a good piece so I will use a old beat up B P .
I wonder how they kept the windage screw from getting moved off? Mine is so loose if anything touch's it it will ove. Maybe some blue lock tite?

Normally the eye-piece assembly is a good friction fit on the end of the leaf (fig.8a,B on fig.12a,D.) If yours isn't, disassemble and "squoosh" it a hair. (Drive out the tiny pin holding the windage knob to allow disassembly. If not handy with small tools, chances of mishap are high.)

Thank You  I will have to give that some thought before I work on it. That pin looks like it could fly off into never never land.

That's why we support the knob with a softwood block and drive the pin right into it.

FWIW: The windage threads are partially visible on the 1902 Krag sight.
In this case, I would just center the rear-sight blade and put a drop of Blue Lock-tite, gasket-seal, or 'rubbery' cement on the threads, (where visible), on each side of the leaf.
