This '98 Krag has been sitting in the local shop since I moved here last summer. Stock has been sporterized, but the barrel appears to be original length. The rear sight has been removed and some sort of adjustable peep sight has been mounted just forward of the magazine cut-off. There is a small engraving of a bounding buck on the left side of the sight, just above the lever to adjust the elevation. The serial# is in the 381XXX range.
Anyone know what the sights are? How about when the rifle was built?
I'm thinking about picking this one up eventually for a deer rifle. I already have a nice original Krag and like the action. Maybe get one of the new carbine barrels CMP is offering and keep the rear sight like it is. I know there are better rifles and cartridges out there....I just like projects and having something different.
Thanks!
