CMP 1899 Krag carbine questions?

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

I saw four Krags this week end. Only one had the original sights.

I spoke with a fellow at CMP custom shop and they are familiar with and have done the dovetailing and soldering of the Krag front sight. I am on the waiting list for the work to be done. They also have the parts and expertise to inlet for and install the barrel band spring (we are going to discuss that when they have eyes on).
Wish me luck.
