    'LTPayton88' - I don't believe anyone has asked: How high do the numbers go on the leaf of your rear-sight?

    FWIW - Model 1896 rifle rear-sights go to 18, (1,800 yards).

    Model 1896 carbine rear-sights go to 20, (2,000 yards).

    The carbine version has a small 'C' at the top of the leaf and on the right-side of the base.

    The rifle sight sells for around $60. The carbine version sells for about ten times that, $500 and up!

    Many carbines have had their original rear-sights 'looted' and replaced with a more common rifle sight, by low life entrepreneurs.

    I hope your Kragicon still has its original carbine sight.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).

    Mine has a rifle sight on it. It had a carbine sight originally but the guy I bought it off of bought the rifle originally for the rear sight to put on his and make it correct. So now it is sitting with a rifle sight.

    The prior owner was honest about it.

    Sometimes you have to rob Peter to pay Paul - when restoring Krags.
