1898 Springfield Krag Rear Sight
I have a decent 98 Krag that has been stripped of its rear sight including the base. Will the hole centers of other Krags rear sights mate up with the holes or do I need one specifically for an 1898? I have read there were several different rear sights. Unusual when the production time span was so short.

Yes, mag cuttoff is in fact gone as well. I guess being as the barrel has screw holes drilled and tapped there is lots of meat for a 3/8 inch dovetail. Have seen a few online with Winchestery looking rear sights mounted.

Managed to pick up an 1892 rear sight for decent investment. Altough it is not correct it will still shoot good.

It may also be worth noting that, although the hole spacing and threads are the same on all sight models, the screw length and head shape are not.
