Windage adjustments on the Krag is unique. It has two bases, the top base swivels on the bottom base allowing for adjustment. The sight is marked with windage graduations. Each point is 5.86 MOA.

Quite a feat of engineering, but as you can see, it would be complicated for the average soldier.
Not to get too off topic but... Moderately complicated, especially compared to the simple and excellent windage adjustment on the Garand but not unique and not unfamiliar to the soldiers. Very similar to the Buffington sight on the Springfield Trapdoors they'd been using for the last 30 years or so.
