Re: Two Krag1898 Rifles Restoration Complete

Two Krag1898 Rifles Restoration Complete
UPDATE: The rifles arrived and I snapped some photos on the kitchen counter. After the guns warm up I’ll wipe them down and take another series of photos: https://share.icloud.com/photos/057UK2422W4VKOxDcE8TSPVVw IMG_0870.jpeg A few years ago I purchased a rifle with a shot out barrel and a strippe...
