Re: 1896 Krag restoration:Need Help
Do you have all of the pieces of the stock? The better craftsmen can do a beautiful job of repairing broken stocks and this may be preferable to discarding the broken stock if it is original to the rifle.<br /><br />Where is the stock broken? Was there any other damage to the rifle when the stock wa...

Re: .30-40 ammo sources?
Don't overlook HSM (The Hunting Shack). No original thinking here, I was reminded of HSM on another forum.<br /><br />http://www.thehuntingshack.com/catalog/retail/hsmrifle/3040krag.htm<br /><br />I can't vouch for their .30-40 loads, but I have used a case of their 80 gr. .223 load for competition ...

Re: Extractor spring tension
Thanks for the reply. I had to make a pretty quick decision whether or not to return it for a refund, which I did.<br /><br />It occurs to me that this might be a not uncommon problem if the extractor is pried up improperly for bolt removal or replacement.<br /><br />I suppose it could have been dea...

Extractor spring tension
I purchased a complete 1898 bolt in "very good condition, only a couple of scratches, excellent for a rebuild" condition. (I only wanted it for spare parts, the one in my rifle is fine.) <br /><br />I received it today and find the extractor to be loose and floppy. On my good bolt, removed...

1901 Sight Slide Binding Screw
Is there a source for the 1901 sight slide binding screw?
Is the similar part for the 1903 Springfield the same?
TIA

WTB: Broken Krag rifle stock for foreend
I've got a stock to "stretch" if I had a foreend to stretch it with. If someone has a broken rifle stock with a good foreend, I'd like to purchase it. :-/

Re: Krag Book Recommendation-Brophy or Mallory/Ols
Giving credit where credit is due:<br /><br />The "correct person" to fulfill my order was Wayne Gagner. I believe it was very gentlemanly of him to honor what was apparently an out-of-date price. He fulfilled my order very quickly and, I must say, The Krag Rifle Story is a wonderful refer...

Re: Krag Book Recommendation-Brophy or Mallory/Ols
The Krag Rifle Story is still available from U.S. Martial Arms Collector, but I don't think you'll see it for $80 anymore. I attempted to buy it from their website and had some delay. They must not have sold one in a while because their system forwarded my order to the wrong person. When the order w...
