Re: Open-Carry in Michigan

Who should be sent are the sisters from this little known elite female fighting arm of the Vatican called "The Sisters of Our Lady of Semper Fidelis!" Below are some training photos, smuggled out of Italy, of this ultra secret military force. When I wrote to the Vatican inquiring about the...

Re: saddle bar

Don't dismay kab37, it's pretty common to come across many a Krag with sling holes. BTW: Somewhere in my research I came across a reference about a jig, used in the field, to cut inlets in the stock for attaching a sling swivel (see BR's faux carbine photo). IMHO: I have have come across too many co...

Re: Opinions lessons ? Gun broker auction

The successful bidder probably posted a maximum bid (8/4) that was higher then later bids placed at a latter date (8/7). Auction sites will offer an option for a bidder to place a maximum bid that will beat lower bids up to the maximum value determined by the bidder who's used this option.

I often pondered as to whether they came from a estate sale or maybe some museum off-loaded part of their Krag collection... ...Springfield??? IMH...

Re: Opinions lessons ? Gun broker auction

Hi WAGON, Rifle looks to be in excellent condition and should fetch between $1,500 to $1700...unless a feeding frenzy occurs then who knows how much it'll go for. The previous "Buy It Now" price was crazy high, however, with the current state of affairs, gun prices have increased considera...

A friend had given me a copy of "The Story of the War of 1898" by Peter Fenelon Collier that contains many color and black/white illustration plates. Unfortunately the copy I received has extensive damage and is in bad repair with many of the color illustrations missing. eBay has a few lis...

Re: Krag Cadet Scabbard

Well I guess I should have said "appears to be a cadet scabbard". Compare with other cadet scabbards listed and you be the judge. https://www.ebay.com/itm/363619894290?hash=item54a96f4412:g:rPUAAOSw11JhjuXB https://www.ebay.com/itm/363168096580?hash=item548e816144:g:1mEAAOSwgzVfpH67 https:...
