Right? If I had to guess this rifle received several adaptations in its history. First likely being stock shortened with the barrel cut back and original front sight assembly sleeved on (retaining the bayonet lug for whatever reason). Second likely being someone changing out the front sight, removing the rear, and adding a aperture on the rear. Unless there was a third and adding a scope on it well removing the two other sights.Originally Posted by browningautorifle
Possibly the seller removed the aperture and front sight for use elsewhere?
The one good thing is that bayonet lug sleeved on there could actually hold some value for someone with a full length M94 sporterized Krag as most would be cut off due to people not wanting a military themed item on their hunting gun (very common on No. 4 Enfields as well).
