Re: Parkhurst carbine
I must have missed something. Where did the Parkhurst clips come from? Are they originals?

Re: Two Krag1898 Rifles Restoration Complete
How many really excellent (95% +) originals are left? The last were made almost 120 years ago. And the demand simply wasn't there for most of that time. If I wanted a near-original and IF I could afford a G&H restoration, I'd strongly consider it.

Re: Parkhurst carbine
Could an easily-found charger for a Lee-Enfield work? Or could one be modified?

Re: Parkhurst carbine
You have the Parkhurst, something I thought only existed in museums. Now where do you get a couple of clips? Then take it for a test run and report the results.

Re: Grandpa's Krag
If it were my rifle with the same family connections, used by grandfather and father, I wouldn't change anything. The memories and family stories are what should be preserved. So few of us have anything like that. After much thought, I might turn the barrel band around. And I might try to find a sco...

Re: What to do now?
I don't know where you are, but a new barrel or a replacement barrel would seem a long shot. Is it even possible to put a liner in an old military barrel? Have you slugged the barrel? That's the cheapest way to get a "feel" for the problem. Maybe there is a tight spot in the middle, or a l...

Re: Feeling Lucky?
No, but I wasn't in my 80s, either. I've never before experienced a panic attack like that. Like wearing a tight-fitting hoodie. If I fell into the river, I was done for.

Re: Feeling Lucky?
She could probably pee easily if she had a chain mail skirt. Many years ago, I put on a chain mail shirt with a hood. I panicked instantly, could not get it off fast enough.

Re: My 2nd Krag - Late 1903 Rifle in 1900 Stock
It pivots right to left in an arc. The slotted screw is the axle (?) or pivot pin. You can see by the wear markings that the peep has been moved before. The circular indent in the peep face will slip into the hole bored into the rear of the main sight body. You ought not to break anything. It was ma...
