Re: M1898 Krag carbines
<r>Pictures of my M1898 SRC are attached. Serial number is 134317. It is a well used example, but I think it is an original, un-molested M1898 Saddle Ring Carbine. The stock has a 1898 cartouche and a M1896 C marked rear sight. I will be listing it in the Classified Section soon.<IMG src="https://kr...

Re: Brass insert riveted into magazine? CMP purchased

Re: Amazing Supply of "Original" M1892 Cleaning Rods
Well, the originals had to go somewhere didn't they. What did Springfield do with the cleaning rods when they did the 92/96 conversions?

Re: Going to look again at Stevens-Pope
I think the exterior metal will clean up just fine using WD-40 and some of the bronze wool. A lot of it might just be dried grease. the butt plate appears to have the heaviest pitting.The big question of course is the bore. If it is shootable with good visible lands and grooves, I would venture a gu...

Re: Going to look again at Stevens-Pope
Definitely a Stevens-Pope rifle with the correct front sight. As you probably won't be shooting it a great deal, bore condition shouldn't be a deal breaker. I have a M1898 Gallery Practice 22 caliber rifle that has a great bore, but I have never shot it. I paid $3500.00 for it about 10 years ago. Is...

Re: M1898 Krag carbines
98 carbines must be a lot scarcer than I thought. Only 7?
