Wanted 1901 rear sight assembly

Anyone have a 1901 pattern rear sight assembly for sale? I just bought one on eBay but the mailman left it at my door and it walked off.of course they won't do anything about it...

If anyone has one they will let go for a reasonable price let me know.

Re: Cartage conversions?

Well as I mentioned based on a basic search the pressure of each cartridge is within 5,000psi. I've already found a company that can produce the barrel using the original to copy profile and threading and it's literally the cost of 2 boxes of the only krag ammo available. I would convert to 30-30 to...

Based in on my web hunt I believe 303 British would be the best option. The bolt shouldn't need any modification just a custom barrel. Anyone ever try thi...

'nokool61' - Welcome to the KCA Forum. Some clear close-up pictures of your Krag and a serial number will beget more information & feedback. Since your Krag was 'scoped' for hunting, stock notches likely represent 'Deer Kills'. (Soldiers carving stocks was not allowed in U.S. Service). Got pict...
