I never measured it. The copper strip was laying in a tub of odd hardware on my workbench.
By coincidence, the copper strip was the same thickness, as the slot, on the back of the sight-base.
The copper strip had adequate width & length to bend, locate a screw-hole, and shape the tip.

Very nice and a versatile sight-aperture disk.
You may have to use a smaller O.D. sight disk, in order to fully lower the elevation-slide, without interfering with the bolt-sleeve.

Thanks! It is versatile.
I'll have to check if it interferes with the bolt at it's lowest setting. It actually doesn't sit much lower than the lowest part on the arm. If it does interfere, I have smaller diameter apertures that are 6-way adjustable.

For 'hunting' and quick applications, it is common to use 'No aperture' and just look through the threaded hole. It works!

Thanks for that info! It'll just be a range gun anyways.

With a receiver sight on a Krag, it is not unusual to need a higher front sight blade.
This is because, the 'peep' sight may sit higher than the issue rear-sight.
If so, the bore will be angled 'upward', when aiming with the original front-blade.
A taller blade will bring the bore closer to level.

I'm hoping I'll be ok as it has an aftermarket ramp style sight base with dovetail slot in it to change the height if I need to.
What is the height of a stock rifle Krag sight from the bottom of the base to the top of the blade?
