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.

Re: Model 1896: To rebarrel or not to rebarrel?
My first Krag would spray, and I DO MEAN SPRAY jacketed bullets all oover a 24 X 36 inch sheet at 50 yards. I went to .312 cast and the rifle was shooting close to 1" groups at 100 yards. True Story. The barrel was fine. Not that I am recommending it, because I am not, but that rifle would shoo...

Re: 1892 snowballs chance... front band?
1892's are out there but rare. A collector friend hooked me up with a bobbed but unconverted 1892 rifle. Bobbed as in the forestock had been cut off. I repaired the rifle. The 1892 cleaning rod I purchased from another collector friend cost me about half what I got the rifle for at auction. If ever ...

Re: Site repairs
I should have specified! My 1899 has the 1901 rear sight. Does the binding knob on the 1901 rear sight use a detent spring?
