Thanks, that makes perfect sense. I have a long eye relief scope that will sit in front of the reciever.

That rifle has the looks of a tack driver! Do the empties hit the scope upon extraction? I do a lot of dreaming also. I hope I can get this project done during the winter. I have most of the parts I am going to use. I wish I could devote more time to it but that's the way it goes. It will come toget...

It is nice to have options! I am trying to keep the investment as low as possible. The way it's going the rifle is going to look different than your average krag. Since the barreled action came so mutilated I am going to experiment with some ideas. Thanks for everyone's input.

Thanks everyone for the help. I have a long eye relief scope I am going to try mounting on the barrel. Kind of a scout rifle concept. It is in the design stages right now.

Thanks for your ideas. I did not think the holes would weaken the reciever. Better safe than sorry. It is a four number serial no. Another forum member was kind enough to check it out for me. Unfortunatly there is no <br />record of it. It's too bad this one was chopped up. I would like to have a 18...

<r>Hello to the forum: I picked up this barreled reciever for next to nothing. Someone had already cut it down for hunting at some point. I would like to make a sporter out of it. My question is about the scope mount holes. Did they weaken the action? Also I would like to cover them up. Should I wel...

Thank you: I had not seen this. I really like the historical part of collecting. It almost turns an inanimate item alive.
Thanks again, kc

<r>Hello: Thanks for your help. I guess the best thing to do is take a lot of photos and list the items as is as are. I do not know the value of these items. I am going to list them on flea bay at a low starting price and see what happens. I hope to get some of them up in the next few weeks. I need ...
