Hi all
I’m looking at a Winchester 1895 src and it’s missing the rear sight. Will a Krag sight fit ?
Thanks

Hole spacing is different. So, no, they won’t.

I’ve no idea where all the carbine sights went when pulled off. Lots of carbines were retrofitted with the Lyman receiver sight and the rear barrel sight and hand guard often removed. Sight collectors and dealers rarely see a rear barrel sight from an 1895 carbine. I never did it, but would think you could use a Krag sight and slot one of the barrel mounting screws to get the spacing. Then the next problem is getting a correct thread screw for the Winchester barrel as IF I recall correctly, it is a different thread and size than used on Krags. Tim
