Re: Rod Bayonet 1903 Springfield

The model of the Springfield you have is not out of place as it does have a modified Krag rear site on it till, it was...

Re: getting 1892 krag rebarreled

I would get the data the show that the BATF say that type and make of rifle is a legal weapon. The go back to your Local office that enforces these laws and then see what they say. I am sure if you look around and ask at gun show you will find they sell them and if so ask how they can sell a weapon ...

Re: Anyone have a recommendation for Arisaka info?

while your rifle has the shape of a type 38, it seems to be missing and not removed makings and I have never seen a bole like that on a Jap rifle. what round does it shot and can use a few more pics if possible.

Re: New member/ Krag owner refinish or not?

Nice Rifle, would like to see more pics of it. I am not a expert on refinishing but, if you try to strip the finish off you may do more harm than good. I believe that the dark red color is correct for the wood used, but yours from what little I can see does have some form of finish on it. To remove ...

buried ammo can be used but I would not use it unless it were in a waterproof container. I have used 50's ammo I picked up on the ground at Ft Bragg and it shot just fine but I had one round the ruptured through the primer pocket and Destroyed my M1 Grand stock, from the butt plate to the front of t...
