Not Armory work. Krags didn't have a banded front sight.

The banded front sight is a 1903 rifle sight. The rear sight is an 1898 that has been modified to the 1902 rear sight calibrations, with the rounded off corners.

Looks like a salvaged 1903 stock to me, what with the cross bolt. It escapes me - who did that? Bannerman or Stokes-Kirk? Need a pic (and not quite such a close-up) of the bottom of the forend ahead of the trigger-guard to see it there is a filler in the magazine well.

Dick - I believe these 'cobbled conversions' were done by Bannerman's (per Brophy and Mallory books). Hudson Arms was selling last of 'Bannerman Hybrids' in 1939 to 1947 Advertisements.

Note - "th" has a couple of threads going on this same subject. I responded quite fully on his other thread.
