Differences in Krag front sight?

Post by S.B. »

Could someone, please, post some good pictures of the different Krag front sights? In particular, the 1896 and the 1898?
TIA, Steve :-/

The front blade that goes with an 1896 rifle sight is approx .285" tall, whereas those for an 1898, 1901, or 1902 rifle sight are approx .410" in height. That's the whole blade, counting what is down inside the stud. I say approx because they could be filed to get the proper zero.
