Re: Sight Offset Question
I have had good results using silver solder when a close fit is present. I believe with your situation I would first fill in the dovetail and file shape it, then fit the band and sweat it on. Filling the void should reduce muzzle flex when firing to a minimum. Brownell's sells a low melt temp silver...

Re: Restoring a rare (not Krag, but close) stock
Dick I would try some water based stripeze in small amounts and remove it with an old dish rag (texture) don't let it set to long and the layers will peel off gradually. If you want to retain the cartouche (wise idea) this should give you the control to do that. Use lots of clean rags and be sure to...

Re: Philippine Constabulary Krag 22lr Trainer
Now that is an excellent re-purpose of an otherwise unusable '98, IMO.
