Re: My 2nd Krag - May 1903 Rifle in 1900 Stock
Well, I’m leaning on the 50% that your hunch may be right because that means I don’t have to try to find a .22 caliber practice rifle to buy😂 Not clear on how having (POSSIBLY) having the stock for one would eliminate the "need" to have the whole gun? :o Physically, the stocks are identic...

Re: My 2nd Krag - May 1903 Rifle in 1900 Stock
Or perhaps a .22 Gallery Practice rifle? Then there is the whole 1892 and 1896 arena. Short and long-stocked carbines, a "school gun"? Lions & tigers & bears, oh my!!

Re: Friendly skies? bummer insignia!
Also, no armament? And - what's that hanging beneath the fuselage?

Re: School Rifles with JFC Stock Cartouche
My "school gun" - which I believe to be authentic - has the same small [JFC} cartouche as is shown in the first photo in this thread. I have seen others with normal [JSA/date] stamps. As to overstamps, my 1892/96 rifle has [BA-WJ] over an illegible JSA cartouche.

Others might. I am fortunate to have a GOOD 'congress-critter', the Hon. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA1). My wife baby-sat for him when he was a kid - old family acquaintances. Comes from a family of rice farmers, honest, pro-gun, anti-Biden - what's not to like?

Re: Interesting Florida Gun Shop
Thanks a lot for sharing, Chuck. I'm sure we can all remember when shops like that were all over, and the darker and mustier the better! Times have surely changed. There was always an air of mystery about what might be in the corner, or in the back room . . .

Re: Amoskeag Auction
1545 is not an 1898 (s/n 279xxx) - can't see some of the higher lot numbers?
126471 could be real. (126323, 126370, 126417, 126775 supposedly are)

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
Thank you, Whig! I'm not saying you have to LIKE the guy, just that at this critical point in time, we NEED him. Someone has to shovel out the stable, and there is NO ONE else who stands even a whisker of a chance against the stacked deck which is being shored up even as we speak. It has been said t...

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
Waterman - WHO then do you propose as an ELECTABLE alternate to Biden (unless you are saying you're just going to vote blue, or not vote because you don't like Trump, and let the country go down the toilet like Germany)? While dire, I don't think things are quite as bad as you paint. Russia is not h...
