I've used a PJ O'Hare micrometer on my 1901 Krag sight as well as an '03 Springfield. Works just fine on either.

Very thoughtful; many thanks.

<r>The butt plate is unscratched, never even been in a parade. Bore like new. Wood is sharp and clean. At least now it will get some light as a wall hanger.<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/P1030459__640x480_.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kr...

<r>but came home with a Colt. Packed in whale oil. All the time scrubbing it I feared finding "Italy" stamped on it. Made in 1864 for NJ; never issued. Like NOS, new old stock, mint but no history to tell. I'm happy.<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfile...

O'Hare also offered parts to add to '03 windage adjustment screw and wheel that give 1 MOA detent clicks. Cost was $2.00. That would be nice to have

P.J. O'Hare catalog NO.8 ,no date, lists the micrometer for $5.00, the sight cover for $1.00. If in a "special hurry" your payment and order could be sent by telegraph. We're not that much quicker today.

<r>The micrometers will also work on a Krag as well as a Buffington trapdoor sight<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/P1030447__640x480_.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/P10304...

Same data is in Lyman 45th edition. Must have been no problems since 1970.

Dec. issue of "Handloader" magazine, Brian Pierce's column had an interesting letter on 170 gr 30-30 bullets in Krag loads. Brian's take was their ogive was better suited for Krags than spire points, and more accurate. Thoughts ?
