In the above link the testing was done on a Krag whose bolt had the front lug ground off. Any sources for tests done on intact Krag bolts/actions?

Yeah, Marvin's Krag looks like a sporterized 1894 Norwegian: seems to have a pistol grip stock, shape of the loading door, the enlarged area at the front of the receiver ring for the handguard, and the shape of the rear sight. I'll have to watch the movie to see if there are any shots of it by itsel...

Rich, is it possible for you to seat your bullets far enough out to engage the rifling and so hold the brass back against the bolt face when firing? In other words, seat the bullet far enough out that there is some resistance to closing the bolt. You might have excess headspace by SAAMI standards bu...

Well, let's consider what advantages are there for a person who registers? Access to images? Other things? It's possible all these bogus names represent inroads for organizations to take advantage of what's on this site. But for what ultimate purpose, who knows?<br /><br />I'm just getting over the ...

Thought it was my bifocals at first.

Looks like the two soldiers in the center of the Camp Perry pic are wearing 1902 campaign hats? I think the guy on the left just sat on his.

From their headgear I thought it was earlier than 1920, too. Wasn't the "Montana Peak" campaign hat adopted around 1911? And the fella on the right looks like he's wearing an older hat that's had the crown reshaped, the dimples look more Canadian than U.S.
