I don't intend to return it to "as-issued" condition, just to restore the basic look of the Krag. I need to find a handguard and rear sight, hence my question about the hole spacing. It has a 22" bbl which I think was originally on an '03 (because of the front sight) and an incorrect stock with swivels - which again may be from an '03. If I can figure out how to post pictures, I will do so.
