    Screwed

    Somehow I don't think I am meant tohave a love affair with my Krags. Was dusting off, oiling, etc. my '98 rifle when the peep sight was spotted on the desk. no wonder ! Screw was missing. SandS firearms listed one so I ordered one. My only fear now is that it will not be right screw.

    Any know of another source ?

    Thanks, Kab

    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.

    You can try these guys. I don't know if they have it but you can check. I've bought trapdoor parts from them with no problems.

    Agreed, those guys should have the right parts, they also know what you're asking for.

    Here's another place you can try. I've never used them but my son in law has and he was very happy with the items and the service. As with any of these guys if you don't see it call or email to ask for a specific item.

    I've been able to find the correct krag screws at ss firearms, NY.
    https://www.ssfirearms.com
    They also had repro front sight bases for when I fit up new criterion barrels. I'm about to do another.

    If you read the original post he already ordered a screw from S&S so he knows of them. I think of the 3 dealers currently listed on this page as the holy trinity of parts suppliers for 19th century milsurp firearms.

    If you have the Kragicon model 1902 sight, S&S Firearms will send the correct original screw for the 'Sgt. Peep' plate.
    I have gotten the plate and screw from them in the past.

    Grandpa's Gunparts, (Movieman630 on ebay), is also an excellent vendor. He is the grandson of the late-Joe DeChristopher.
    I have gotten a lot of parts from him with complete satisfaction. (Attached two sight part photos are from his site).

    It would probably be a good idea to buy an extra 'peep-plate' and screw, while they are available and inexpensive.

    Many Krag shooters enlarge the impossibly small aperture on the peep-plate, in order to use it.
