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

Re: Failed Krag bolt-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!

Re: Front sight height?

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.
