Remington brass is always available and sometimes Winchester makes an extra run. Both Hornaday and Sierra make 220gr ...

I have an 1892/96 Krag (s/n 18433) which has a damaged hand guard. I would like to remove it, repair it if I can (replace it if I can't) and reinstall it. Can anyone give me the best way to do that. As in most things, I expect there are several wrong ways to do this, but only one "best" wa...

It had an 1896 rear s...

Neil:<br><br>300 yds is the tactical range for the Krags 1890s job, hitting a target 18" wide by 5' tall - a man. Remember the only round that was issed to troops in contact used a 220gr round nose bullet with 2000 fps muzzle velosity. Those little pointy ended 180gr bullets that Winchester sel...

Serial number is not specifically in Mallory's list. Rifle should have a 30" barrel, a 1901 rear sight (straight ramp) and was manufactured in the last quarter of CY1901.<br><br>How does that check out with your rifle? Does it have a cartouche on the right side of the stock above the trigger gu...
