I got it back from the gunsmith. It turned out good. He made a nice weaver rail and cerakoted it. I'm quite happy.

Thanks for all the info in this thread. It is appreciated.

Fred, that's a nice housing for that red dot. Looks good! I like red dots on pistols, but not the role I'm looking for on this though. I've got a 357 mag Henry and AR that are good for game inside 100 yds. I'm looking for something to fill that 100-200 yd range, so I need a little magnification. I'm...

If you do happen across one, please let me know. There may well have been more a few years. Availability is terrible in anything nowadays. Prices are up, so what was 200 a few years ago is probably 300 now.

If you know a shotgun scope with a 16" eye relief (what I'd need if the scope is forward of the ejection port), I'd be interested to see a link. The only thing I've seen with that is Leopold, Burris and Nikon pistol scopes up to the 6x-ish range, if adjustable. There is a Leapers one or two, bu...

I was thinking rail on there with some risers that bring the scope back, then a long-relief scope. Probably can't go too beefy with the sc...

Thank you for the timely info Butler. That is very interesting. It sounds like the the only part that isn't semi-original is the William's rear sight. Very cool. I did not realize.

Hello KCA, Many years ago, I got a Krag from my father. It's been sportered, so I'll post it in this category. My grandfather got a deer with it, my dad got a deer with it, and now I have it. I had it out tonight to freshen up the oil and I was trying to figure out what it was before it got modded. ...
