Re: I don't like the looks of this!
Craig at "Lock - Stock and Barrel" politely responded, by email, to my message. He admitted that they missed the flaw and are cancelling the bolt Listing. He thanked me for having a "good eye" and taking time to give them a heads-up on the bolt. (I checked eBay, later, and the li...

Re: What an odd looking Krag
William Brophy gave good detail on the model 1892 prototype carbine in his book, "The Krag Rifle". The front barrel-band has a very discrete "U", turned sideways. The rear barrel-band clamps with a screw and is retained by a cross-pin, through the stock, just like the regular Kra...

Re: What an odd looking Krag
The evolution of early Krag carbine barrel-bands per Mallory.
Note - The prototype 1892 bands were retained by a 'stock-pin' and clamping band-screw.
The 1896 carbine band was made solid and retained by a band-spring inletted into the right-side of the stock.

I don't like the looks of this!
I sent a 'note' to the Gunshop selling this model 1898 bolt on eBay.
We'll see how ethical they are.
It sure appears to me, that it has a crack developing behind the locking-lug.

Re: What an odd looking Krag
IMO - It is much more interesting in its current configuration.

Re: What an odd looking Krag
Oh, I thought the "Imgur" pictures were from the auction site. I find pictures, that are posted 'offsite', to be a PIA. In a few months, the link will be dead and the thread will lose its KCA education value. (That is why I captured, edited, and posted, some of the Imgur pics). More clear ...

Re: What an odd looking Krag
It appears to me, some collector made, (or had made), a replica of the two prototype model 1892 carbines. The front barrel-band looks pretty good. The rear barrel-band is fabricated from a modified model 1896 carbine rear-band. The filled area, between the sight-protectors is visible. Also visible i...

Re: Krag RIA Ammo Leather Case
Richard, my apologies for posting a needlessly confusing photo. My picture actually shows a portion of a .45-70 pouch lying on top of a .30-40 pouch. Just 1/2 of two different boxes are visible. The 1897 Krag tool is in the .30 cal. pouch. The trapdoor tool is in the .45 cal. pouch. The 1879 tool is...

Re: Krag RIA Ammo Leather Case
Hammer - Is there a year-date and inspector's initial on the 'flat' end of your cartridge box?
Does a .30-40 cartridge fit well into the cartridge loops?
The interior of a .30-40 box is shown in attached photo.
