Jerry Fisher installs his ebony forend tips with a tenon like that.

Where can I get a Springfield sight so I can shorten the barrel on my Krag?
How about a Rice sight? It came with a cheap Redfield that shoots 18" high at the lowest setting.


I thought this was going to be a fun shooter, but it has about 17 problems and I don't have much time to work on my own projects.
Front sight too high, can't adjust Redfield low enough, barrel (almost) too long to fit in my safe, too much tension on forend band, barrel channel filled with plastic wood, horrible bedding, won't feed because sight is installed in cut-off hole and cases hang up inside action.....at least it was cheap!
