1899 Krag - What is the proper rear sight and handguard.
Hi,
I have acquired a Model 1899 Krag, that had been sporterized. Fortunately the receiver and barrel were left in alone and not damaged. A ramp front sight had been added by soldering and the rear sight was mounted on a ring that was placed on the barrel and held with a set screws. The barrel is 22" from crown of barrel end to bolt face.
The serial number is #3464XX and different sources place the year as August 1901 (calendar year) or a 1902 (fiscal year) build.
What would be the appropriate rear sight assembly and hand guard for this rifle.
Thanks
