My Hornady 303 Brit cases are nearing the end of their life. When I bought them that was all that I could get and they served me and my girls well. I noticed Hornady is making krag cases again. Anybody have a comparison of them against the Graff cases?

Most people really like the A3. My A3 looks almost new but is just not that accurate. I haven't fired it in two years. I'm sure there are things that can be done to improve it. I've been shooting a Krag when I compete in bolt matches but have an Eddystone I plan to shoot sometime this year. Also, I'...

My sentiments exactly. I was surprised at how hard it is to find nice, original 1903s without breaking the bank. I found this along the way. I don't know how much of it is original (barrel, etc.) but it gives the feeling of an almost brand new 1903. I have Remingtons 1903A3 and A4 but they just don'...

<r>It has "9796" engraved by hand on the side. It has what looks like "BFI" and something else stamped on the top of the root. It has "C" and something illegible stamped on the bottom. Prolly a replacement?<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/image...

<r>I don't think she's a collector but she looks nice and didn't cost a lot. I haven't fired her yet. The bore is about +4 but shiny with strong rifling. Not sure what the B28179 stamped on the handguard is. Not really sure how you use the rear sight but I like the notch on my Krags better than the ...

I'm going to take her with me on one of my trips and do some inspection and disassembly. She is my first and favorite Krag. I bought her from an estate in Maine. The deceased had gotten the rifle from his grandfather who got it from the DCM for something like $2. The barrel was cut to 27" and i...

Thanks for the info. No Hatcher hole on the left side. The rifle is owned by the son of a former CMP employee who bought it in the 80s. He did say the wood was replaced with a C stock but other than that it's just as the CMP received it. The Parkerizing looks recent and the barrel and receiver match...

The Poyer book actually says no "production" after 1927. Does this mean component manufacture stopped in 1927 but assembly continued?

I'm looking at an M1903 serial number 1.4M (1932 build date?)with a 6-27 barrel. Could this be the original barrel? Rifle has a c stock with no markings. Rifle is in great shape with excellent bore. My Joe Poyer book says no "service" rifles were built after 1927. What does this mean?

Sorry for the late reply but this is the second week I've been home this year. Loaded some 220 grain Hornady RN and the problem mostly went away. Only one jam per magazine about every other time. It is the ejector that locks and prevents the round from advancing. If I remove the round and reload a c...
