Always nice to see a new off the shelf baby. Give the mom a big hug from the Guys here at the KCA. Congratulations, Grandpa.

Now about that rifle. Ya have to do something. Any thing. It's blocking my view of all that ammo.

How long has it been since Winchester-Western has offered 30-40 Krag ammo?? Out in my shop I found a peanut butter jar with 5 rounds of W-W in it, I thought I have never shot my Krag but I must have.

From Mr. Mallory's The Krag Rifle Story. 2nd Edition. Remember this is a snapshot in time. 77961 96c 04 11 1901 Troop I 5th Cav (Turned In) A close up picture of the Model 1896 will show the 8 and forth digit are way different. They may look the same but that is because of the stamp and how heavy it...
