Followed the link and bought two bags. Only opened one bag and inspected. About a 10% drop out rate due to pleats in the neck/mouth area. Reworked two and possibly saved them, four went in the scrap pile.

Just bought 2 bags after reading and following the link. Although at 17.95 the shipping charges were a bit high, still the price per bag delivered was better than any others I'd found.

Thanks for the heads up, guys!

Thanks, Butler,<br /><br />I'll take some photos and post. I actually did post some when I first started down the Krag road back in 2015. My pics are still on the sporterized page. I just looked them up.<br /><br />Two years ago I took my first deer with it, on the 75th anniversary of when my dad to...

Yes, it does copper foul a bit, but I've not put more than about 30 rounds down it since I started shooting it, but it shoots very well. <br /><br />It's serial number 133937 and professionally sporterized probably sometime in the 20's. Was purchased around 1940 from a pawn shop by my Dad. <br /><br...

I have a low serial number Krag that I took out of the safe the other day to prep for winter.

I just logged on for the first time a quite a while, and saw this thread. I just purchased one of these;https://www.amazon.com/Teslong-Borescope-Side-View-Semi-Rigid-Smartphone/dp/B07TTQF24F/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=teslong+digital+borescope&psc=1&qid=1572877775&sr=8-4<br /><br /...

I bagged my first ever deer with my Dads old Krag back in November. He bought the rifle from a pawn shop in Waco, TX right out of boot camp, and took it home to Oregon with him on Christmas leave. I have a pic of him in this Army uniform, holding the rifle and standing next to a deer he took with it...

Friend forwarded me his question. I told him I'd post it here and hope for the best. Sounds like a bubba smith got ahold of it.<br /><br />Here it is.<br /><br />I have an 1898 Krag rifle and it has a major head space issue, it splits the cases near the rim of the case, it even splits new cases on t...

Lot's of great information guys, it'll take a while to sink in as i try different approaches. I bought a set of lee FL sizing dies and will try the neck only approach for now, just because that is what I do for my 223 brass.<br /><br />I'll start trying some hand loads in the next few weeks and let ...

Fascinating 1928 article. Do you have the entire magazine article available to read?

A dollar and a half for a fine example of American workmanship!

If only I had a time machine..
