BM1455, my apologies for not paying closer attention to the forum. Thanks very much for your comments.<br /><br />The powders and loads I have chosen are because there is information on the Hodgdon web site about safe reduced loads with these two powders. <br /><br />Wolfe Publishing has an excellen...

<r>As promised, another trip to the range.<br /><br />Rule of thumb: First, get a group, later, move the group to the X...this is a little better than the first go-round.<br /><br />This is 100 yards, 10 rounds of PRVI Partisan 139gr FMJBT over 14.0 grains of Trail Boss, about 1420fps. Sights at 400...

<r>First trip to the range. 100 yards, 15 rounds, one flyer just off the target to the right. Sights at 200.<br /><br />All 140gr Hornady SP, but various charge weights of 4895, around 26 grains and 1,800fps, or so, give or take 100 or 150fps. I still have not figured out the sights and the hold, ob...

Thanks, Ned. Tom really made the difference. I am really happy with the result. I am looking forward to some competition and basking in the jealousy... :)

<r>A Fistfull of Dollars, and a Few Dollars More...<br /><br />It is amazing what a little stupidity and a lot of money can accomplish. Here is, probably, the Final Result.

Thanks! <br /><br />I *have* been very fortunate in finding them. I found all three locally. The 1894 action I bought as a sporter and got the stock and hardware from Tom. <br /><br />The 1912-16 was my first purchase. It was listed on Armslist about 90 miles away. <br /><br />The 1912-18 I was able...

<r>After some kind assistance from Tom Butts, and from a local friend with better woodworking skills than I have, here is the current state of the Norwegian Department of my Scandinavian collection. I though this might provide some holiday entertainment to carry us through the Winter, while we look ...

Thanks, Tom! And thanks for making it happen!

<r>Here is the current state of the project, thanks to the kindness of the Krag Collectors Association....<br /> Remaining items, repair the stock which is duffle-cut, but is very tight without the repar.<br /> Find a cheap cleaning rod. <br /> Find a cheap original sling. ( hey, I can dream! )<br /...

<r>The good: all matching, full-length barrel, great bore.<br />The bad: parkerized barrel, re-blued trigger guard and loading gate, repair spring in the sight. A stock that I would not try to shoot. How it survived being cut down is a mystery, but I won't dwell on that too long. All in all, I am ve...
