Re: Are we being set up for something?
Sure sounds fishy to me. With a Presidential election coming up and Obama getting hot on Gun Control, I'm all for securing the membership list.

Re: Pump action Krag
My perspective is 2015. With Original Krag rifles getting scarcer every day, it seems a shame that any of them were used for experimentation. While a pump action Krag may be a novel idea, I don't see any practicality in this design. Most pump and lever guns have the advantage of reloading the chambe...

Re: Pump action Krag
This is way beyond "Bubba". It is an abomination! The guy who did this to a perfectly good Krag should be summarily executed at sunup.

Re: In search of family rifles.
I'd try the FFL Dealer to check his records, just like the BATF would do. Might be the best bet if you know the date you sold them.

Re: Stock Refinishing.
Best way I ever found to remove old oxidized linseed oil was to spray it down generously with "Oven Off" oven cleaner, let it sit, and rinse it off with water. It may take a couple of cycles to get it all, but it does a pretty good job. The best stock finish I ever used was boiled linseed ...

Re: Buried 30-40 ammo
Also bear in mind that brass will age harden (and crack). It's never a good idea to reload brass with a questionable history. It could blow up in your face!

Re: New Springfield
Looks like with a bolt body, bolt sleeve, safety, trigger guard and some very careful stoning on the left side of the receiver, you could have a nice rifle. Don't be afraid of repairing the stock. There are cartouches on that original that you can't and would not want to duplicate.

Re: Buehler Safety Function Question
I have the Buehler safety on one of mine. There is no detent and the safety relies on a nylon dot that bears on the interior bore of the cocking piece (friction) to stay in position. I would not trust it as a safety. It moves too easily, especially if you use lubrication on your guns.
