Re: Failed Krag bolt-lug

Re: Failed Krag bolt-lug
Mark, I guess you are saying that the bolt partially rotated 'open'? Was part of the 'flange' on the bolt-head 'missing', before your Krag Bolt Incident? Not rotated at all. I was saying the if it had been an 1898 receiver, without the metal recess the bolt handle closes into on an 1892 or 1896 rec...

Re: Failed Krag bolt-lug
things may have been worse, the bolt handle came up against the "shroud" around the bolt on the 1896 receiver. Primers were not flattened.

Solid rib bolt with cracked lug
I have a bolt body with the solid rib. The lug is Cracked. If anyone wants it for display or any reason, other than actual use in a rifle, it let me know. If I don't hear from anyone in a week or so it will get tossed.

1899 Krag and young buck
October 2022 I was given an 1899 barreled action. Charles McArthur repaired the original 1901 carbine site for me. I am grateful.
Yesterday I toock this buck with it. I got the stock with 1899 Catouche off of Ebay. The shot was about 70 yards. The buck went down and never moved.

Re: Model 1896: To rebarrel or not to rebarrel?
I have several Krags with perfectly fine bores that shoot perfectly well and would hold their own (with a good marksman) in any vintage rifle match.
