Thanks. Nice looking rifle that you have. I don't think mine looks as good. I have no plans yo do any re-finishing, etc, other than installing a 1901 carbine sight that I have. I may have to re-finish the hand guard. Range report will not be until October of this year.<br /><br /><blockquote>Nice ri...

Thank you. Yes, I had read that about the M1905 Bayonet attachment. I haven't decided on a sling for this rifle. it is a 1903 production. I supposed just about any sling from the 1887 to the Kerr would be good. I am quite partial to the Kerr. I like how it can be tighened up real good. <br /><br /><...

No. It is 22", like it is supposed to be. I trust that is what Bruce made it, because that is what I asked him to do.

Looks like a fun shooter.
Barrel still 24"?

That guy....I messaged him.....said that his son was making those and that, because of health concerns, is NO LONGER making them. I think there is only one other maker of a repro hand guard. otherwise, you are just going t...

Hello Krag Friends,<br /><br />Just HOW and with what tool/Receiver wrench does one install a Krag barrel which still has the front sight base and blade installed?<br /><br />Have seen two wrenches....one at Numrich, which doesn't look like it will fit over the front sight. Have queried them<br /><b...

I do not claim "Guru" status when it comes to the late 1800s wb gear, but I have looked at a bunch. There were several manufacturer's of web equipment leading into the Span/Am War. With the military being in shortage of many items, other "brands" were pressed into service, as I u...

<r>Just picked up this Hulbert 30-40 single row belt. May add a buckle to it and rig up a way to mount my Ames M1906 Saber. Have seen sword hanger "Hooks". I think I can work up something very similar with some heavy gage rod.<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/image...

I can advise ...
