The Ebay seller that sold me the fake one has another one on now.

Great information butlersrangers. I have ordered a copy of the book you got the information out of. Should be a good thing to have with the rifle.

No adjustments were needed. I shot 2 groups of 5, letting the barrel cool between groups. All but 1 was within one inch of the bullseye at 100 yards 3 were right on. The one was way off. I,m blaming that on the ammo. It is very windy here today.<br />I would like to know how to use all the functions...

I have replaced the rear sight ladder with a better one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/85591315@N00/10907231754/in/set-72157636869340976

Now its time to take it out to the range (my back yard) and make the necessary adjustments.

Thanks for the information. I contacted the seller and will be returning it for a refund.

<r>Still learning about my Krag. I have a krag take down tool.<br />What is the peg used for? <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Ken<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/DSC00224.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/image...

Upon closer inspection I see the sight ladder on my rifle has been broken off and welded back on. Also someone has taken a file to it. It looks like it was bent and after straightening they filed off the remaining high points. I will be replacing it as soon as I find a good quality one for sale. <br...

I thought the rear sight looked pretty crude. I didnt know if thats just the way they were made. The only american firearm I have for comparison is a 1884 springfield trapdoor and it is much better. I will see about replacing it.
I was hoping the bayonet was a kadet version.

Thanks for the information. The bayonet is either nickle or chrome plated. The rivets are plain steel. It appears to be the original finish. Would this be considered unusual?
