Re: 1899 carbine project

The rear sight screw is broken. If the sight is tight just leave it until you can locate another. As others said a straight 1901 rifle hand guard would bee fine.

Re: SRS Documented Krag on Auction Site

Unfortunately it has been drilled and tapped and restoring it back to is original condition will cost and not be worth it. But if someone has a connection to the history it would be a good buy.
