Hello Folks,
This past weekend, I rescued a pretty heavily sporterized 1898 Krag at a local gun show. Its honestly in pretty good shape. In the future, I may put it back in original configuration, but for now, I'd like to shoot and enjoy it. Among other "modifications", a PO cut the barrel down (but they recrowned it). So, it doesn't have a front sight. It doesn't have a rear sight, but I can fix that.
So, what are my options for a functional front sight for this rifle? I'd prefer something I could silver solder on first (with out cutting a slot or dovetail - although I can do that), and second, a drill and tap option.
I'd imagine it would need to be pretty tall. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
