No.5 MK1's are cool. I bought one in 1977 for $45.00. Traded it and some cash for an IHC M1 a year later. I found this one in the LGS a couple of years ago.<br /><br /><br /><IMG src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48059004597_bd21d94e86_c.jpg" alt="img"><br /><br />Paid a little more than $45....

That's pretty cool. I need something like that. Can't retrieve your targets at the local range.

Nice rifles, nice photos. A model 8 or 81 Remington is on my want list. I need to get my Krag to the range. Haven't fired it in a while.

Cool looking rifle no matter where it came from. I'd like to set mine up that way.

Welcome Glashaus. I have read many of your posts on the forum dedicated to Springfield Armory's last steel warrior.

That is a very nice looking Krag sporter indeed.

That's some cool stuff. I have a few lamps also. Not pressure lamps, but center draft and Aladdin kerosene lamps. Here's my Model B Aladdin hanging lamp. Model B is from the 1940's I believe. The hanging frame is for an older model of Aladdin lamp.<br /><br /><IMG src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/...
