Rear sight...

Tom,
Is that a Krag rear sight assembly on your rifle? Very interesting.

lancebear, Yes, the rear sight on my .22 cal. Springfield is of the Krag type. It has a Segley marked M1905 fixed rear sight base to which has been welded a M1902 (?) Krag rear sight. Same type of set-up as the prop rifles used in the Gary Cooper movie about Sgt, Alvin York.

A Bannerman practice rifle.
