Re: A woman with (LOTS of) guns
Well, I looked her up and started with the one hour plus video of the 75 firearms of WWI. Oh dear. There goes a large part of an otherwise busy Saturday. Worse, I still have time on the clock in order to finish the series. Thanks for passing that along. In our town I resurrected a woman's shooting p...

Re: Krag leather slings - new
I respond again, in order to complete the discussion and application of the 64” IMA slings. Trying to research the options for attaching the sling I found a familiar name, “Dick Hosmer.” He describded the installation but for some reason the picture didn’t come together for me. He had received a rep...

Re: Newbie Member says Hello!
Hello Kenm, Bought my first Krag 30/40 in 1976. It was a “sporter-sorter”. I had a variety of ammo to get started. Even then I felt compelled to begin loading. Those days powder was 4 or 5 dollars a pound. Much later had a long hiatus then dug out my fire arms and the loading gear. Most of my brass ...

Re: Own a garage?
Okay, that is definitely “regional obscure” but funny when you are gifted with context.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Re: Krag leather slings - new
I have to say, the pleasure I get from my two “sporterized” Krags has been enhanced by the fine people and great information given so generously by the KCA forum. From the historical perspective of these unique rifles to the practicality of keeping them alive and shooting I am truly indebted. I appr...

Re: Chattanooga Choo-Choo?
I think I saw the Buster Keaton film on Turner Movies. It was a good presentation. We were a mighty nation built through adversity. May the younger generations rediscover their heritage and treasure those people and events which built a strong national culture. Perhaps holding a Krag while being tol...

For a sling, look this over:

I need one for field and range and they looked functional. Thoughts?

Re: Cold Steel
Greetings, Gents, Measuring the handle in the enlargement taken from the first photo, I find the following: handle = 1.5 cm, scabbard = 4 cm. (.375) Moving to the photo of the 1909 Bolo I find these numbers: handle = 3.5 cm, blade = 10 cm, scabbard = 10.5 cm. (.333). This scabbard is visually simila...

WW Brass Trim to length?
I wonder, is it logical that all new factory brass should be trimmed to length? With several bags awaiting loading I thought I should poll the group to be sure my ‘logic’ is . . . logical. I am hoping it isn’t necessary to run new cases through a FL die. There is a ‘go/no-go’ between my 1896 and my ...
