'03collector' - Nice acquisitions at your recent gun show.

However, unless I'm sadly mistaken, U.S. Krag rifle serial number 99543 has to be a model 1896 rifle, (not a model 1898).

Is your nice stock repaired in the bolt-handle area? It appears to lack the normal 'scalloped' relief cut?

Binge Watching

'Antenna TV' is crappy in Florida, basic cable is no better, and our 'Firestick' is very inconsistent. I've taken to watching the "Sharpe's Rifles" BBC series from the 1990s on my laptop. The episodes are on YouTube, with Spanish captions, when English is spoken, and with English captions,...

Dave "D.B." Stewart, of Grampa's Gun Parts, is selling some old ordnance department boxes on eBay. He states that his grandfather, Joe DeChristopher, brought some of these out of Bannerman's Island Arsenal and W. Stokes Kirk - Philadelphia store, full of surplus parts. Empty wood boxes, no...

Re: Are you ready ...

The circumference of a Pie is 3.14159 times its diameter. Every Baker knows that!

It's irrational, but constant, to infinity.

Talk about Pi in the Sky!
