Here is a good article on the Parkhurst device that I found trying to learn about it myself.

I was looking at mine and thinking that the 'guide-rib' should act a a very good safety lug.

Pretty amazing that the last shot fired with that cracked bolt did not snap the lug completely off. Krag tough I suppose.

Condition is NOS, basically "mint", not scuffed up like some of the Ebay photos. Will advise quantities and prices soon.

Thanks!

So, my front sight height is .630 from the top of the barrel to the top of the sight. Looks to be in the range and not way out.

No thanks. Lol!

I think I would call the last number a 3.
