Springfield Krag rifle builder.

The Krag sight-slide photos that Numrich has on their website, listed as "1901" parts, are actually for the model 1901 sight.

Granpa's Gun Parts has the top-plate, eye-piece, and other parts for the Krag 1901 sight, but, apparently not the actual slide.

I didn't know how confusing that was, the ladder for the 1901 even has two different models, same ladders just the numbers are different. Actually, reading Poyer's book helps me out but it's still a lot of different ladder and base assembles for the total Krag rifle production.

On another good note, I checked the No Go gauge one the rifle and it passes excellent, that's awesome to have it correct so I can check it off my list.

I made a mistake in my last post.
The Numrich Arms photos of Krag slide parts are mislabeled as being for the 1901 sight.
In actuality, the parts are for the slide of the model 1896 rifle sight.

I figured out what was happening. I still need that main part with the knob, everything else I have.

Eventually I will find it, just a matter of time.
