Krag Collectors Association Forum

I like the report Joe Farmer gave Whig and his logic. Sending for his book. On my rifle the plug in the fore end was added by me as the original was missing. Following advice the rear sight screw has been replaced and the front blade is now correct. Shoots well.

I too like the logic in this thread.

<r>You got to have standards. Krags have handguards. The barrel/receiver interface should be covered<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/P1020897__800x533__001.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfi...

Perhaps a supplier of replacement handguards would make up a blank one, no hole for the sight.

Antique and Collectable Firearms at: oldguns.net has a restored 92 for sale with lots of pictures and detailed description of the rifle.

Might consider putting a cleaning rod in the muzzle and measure that its empty first.

If in doubt, and its of no collector value, and you want to feel comfortable shooting it just use an old tire, tie it to it and a string to the trigger.

I asked about upper bands and on an earlier post about my school rifle in this section. The picture of a school rifle in Poyer's book, fig 2-23, p 45 shows no bevel. This one looks like mine and Poyer. Is there some clarification on the go and no/go criteria for a true school rifle?

<r>Priming quills for the 6 pdr uses 4f a bit faster<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/P1020444__1024x682_.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/P1020444__1024x682_.jpg"><LINK_TEXT...
