Krag Collectors Association Forum

Hats off to Ned and Josh for assisting me to be able to log on to the Forum after something went SNAFU about 10 days ago.

Hello, it is fun to be back ! I have submitted only 1 post in in the last year and half, primarily due to a deer tick bite while hunting from which I developed Babesia and became an invalid for several months. I am now back to 90% energy and endurance, and have returned to rifle shooting and and rel...

Hello Monster Man and welcome to the forum! I, too, acquired an 1899 Krag Carbine about a year ago, and joined the forum shortly after that. I am a collector of U.S. service rifles and my Krag filled out my collection from the Civil War (1862 Springfield .58) through the M1 Garand. I probably will n...

<br />Hello from central Massachusetts. Since early March I and my family have been sheltering in place. and I have not been to my gun club. As such, I have not spoken to any of my reloading buddies. On this and other forums I have recently noticed references to members' inability to purchase variou...

You Might try Skinner sights. Their website describes each of the front sights they sell

Paul, Thanks for your perspective on AA2520 powder and your responses to my other posts over the last few weeks as I try to "get up and running" with my Model 1899 carbine. Evidently, AA2520 has not been used by forum members. I wrote to its maker, Western Powders, and they shared that the...

Vic, Thanks for the tip on Hornady's software. I spent some time with it last night and I like it. I have used PB 2.0 for the last time.
