Re: M1898 Krag carbines
That's quite an addition to our small list, Dick. It sure would be nice to know which ones, or how many, are still in the short stocks with the sling and ring and Model 1896 rear sight. Thanks.

Re: M1898 Krag carbines
I'm updating the M1898 carbine list since I just saw a listing with good pictures for an authentic early Model 1898 Krag carbine with the 30 inch stock, correct Model 1896 carbine rear sight and sling and ring. Sure looks good to me and has a great serial number 123905. Link is: https://www.gunboard...

Re: 1898 .30-40 vs 1894 6.5x55 for action stregnth?
Are you asking theoretically since the 6.5mm cartridge is close to .25 caliber compared to the .30-40 Krag round? Thinking or re-barreling the Krag rifle? The original military 6.5x55 bullet was 156 grains compared to the .30 US at 200 grains. I don't know of a head-to-head comparison since the acti...

Almost As Bad As Kamala Harris' Word Salads!
I pulled an image off of the internet of the front of the magazine of a sporterized Krag rifle. I have never seen this many assembler's stampings on a Krag magazine before. There are usually a few there but this sure stumps me as to what was going on. Word, or "letter", salad sure fits.

Thanks for the geographical confirmation that you're in a better part of the state. I'm sure you wish the state taxes were lower up north.

Archie Bunker Was Right!
So, the 1891 US patent for toilet paper shows that the paper rolls over from the top. I learned this from "All In The Family" when I was a kid where Archie Bunker set Edith and the Meat Head right about mounting the toilet paper properly. I have a habit of always switching it, still, if it...
