Re: Parkhurst carbine
No my terminology was way off. It's not the actual bolt but the knurled cocking hammer. Forgive me I'm sure there is a proper word for it. I'll send a pic of what I mean. Instead of being that mushroom style that you can grab with your fingers it is knurled but goes straight back with no "lip&q...

Re: Parkhurst carbine
I have been so busy looking all over the internet and GB for sights on my sporter I saw a Krag Rifle on GB yesterday with the same trimmed down knurled bolt as you show here. The one on GB is a full rifle with bayonet and it looks pretty good in the pictures. When I was looking at it yesterday I tho...

Re: 1898 Krag sights
Well you know my go to FFL. They are also now very busy teaching a county pistol course so he is doing less shop work for sure. Recently I found a young man over the hill from me in the other direction. AJ Kruppenbacher in Cherry Valley but not far out of Worcester. He has a website. I have had him ...

Re: Winter Project Completed
This is a very nice set up and looks to be extremely secure. Very well done. The bookshelf idea on hinges or rollers and the closet to hide it sound great also. I knew a guy where nearly every piece of paneling and segments of his walls in his house pulled away very neatly to reveal nicely stashed l...

Re: 1898 Krag sights
One last question before I head over the hill. My gunsmith I'm sure will have some input also but I'm wondering if it should still have some sort of barrel band for stability? Now without trying to keep it Krag looking I'm wondering if he will suggest some under the stock screw to some mounting he c...

Re: 1898 Krag sights
Thanks Ned That is pretty much my thinking lately. I was going to do much of this myself but one of my smiths now has some time and I am headed his way in an hour. Rather than try to gather all of the period and piece correct parts this on can stay a nice conversation worthy sporter. Looks like I'll...

Re: 1898 Krag sights
So now i am in go mode and trying to decide a couple things. Even though this is going to remain a sporter with a new laminate stock, should i change both sights to more period and carbine style? It sounds like the front sight is incorrect as well as the rear. If I can get a correct period front sig...

Re: 1898 Krag sights
I have some pics of the stock I believe to be a Krag. The only remaining hardware on it is the spring loaded barrel band which is in perfect working order. I am thinking of mounting on the new sporter stocre somek but not definite on it yet. When I click on add the image it doesn't let me load it fr...

Re: 1898 Krag sights
I have an old stock in a closet that I believe to be a Krag carbine. It has a front barrel band that is solid with no screw and no sling ring. There is a roughly 3 inch long by 1/8" "spring" inlayed in the forend that I believe to allow quick disassembly of the firearm and taking the ...
