<blockquote>Congrats. Looks like you made a nice purchase if the price was not unreasonable. Your M1899 was made Sept 1899 with the stock cartouche matching.

Do ya'll Krag experts think the 1898 is wearing Italian walnut? (It is ...

I'm assuming you're a bullet caster.

This one may be the one that gets me into it...I think I'm gonna need an entire workroom...and another safe...and a bigger house...

SRS hit on this one?
