Re: Glasgow Hooligans

No ... I don't think so ... it has Glasgow fingerprints all over it!

Always consider the 'modus operandi'. It reeks of that famous comedian, John Knox.

Glasgow Hooligans

There must be some Scottish Soccer Hooligans in Rio De Janeiro ... or ... The Catholic Church has partially covered the Jesus Statue for the Lenten Season.

WWJD? - He'd probably laugh!

Kongsberg stockmakers

This 1890's photo is very reminiscent of Springfield Armory photographs of stock-making department workers.

Manned Space launch ....

Sunday night at 10:53 p.m., the Central Florida TV news station said the manned launch was "on" and started the countdown. I stepped out of our Central Florida place, walked to the end of the driveway and faced East. I was quickly rewarded with a great high altitude view of the rocket laun...

Hold the "First Annual KCA Forum - Gong Matches". You might lure some of us with our Krags, out to New Mexico, and teach us all how to eat humble pie! At 6,500 foot elevation, I would probably get out of breath, just working a smooth Krag bolt! Your altitude would adjust my attitude. You g...

Re: Krag rifle in current CMP auction

Well, it started at $1.00 and has 52 bids, so far!

It comes with CMP papers and a hang-tag. :lol:

Re: 1898 .30-40 vs 1894 6.5x55 for action stregnth?

Wow, you have 'long-range' Krag shooting opportunity, that most of us can only envy!

At those distances, I would focus on 185 grain and 172 grain Match-King loads for better velocity and wind bucking.
