Greetings after a long absence. As life leads us down our various paths I find I have a lot to do and my focus can be diverted. As this group has consistently been informative and inspiring I turn once again to the general knowledge base. Awhile ago I picked up a sporterized but lovely 1896 Krag. Th...

I am added a photo to this but I fear my skill level may not be up to the test. We shall see. The image is entitled “Philippine Constabulary in Calisthenic Drill.” This came from a book I picked up in my travels. The Copyright date is 1904, the book entitled “Greatest Of Expositions” “Louisiana Purc...

I recently contacted RCBS on my 30/40 die set decapping pin. This is a really old set (Pre 1976) and somehow the decapping pin was bent. I had purchased the current decapping pin set of 5 pcs. These proved to be too large for the original decapping rod. RCBS responded by promptly putting a new decap...

And here’s a wee dram to Rabbie! Will ya tip a sip o’ Aberfeldy? We spent many weeks in the Highlands, the low lands, climbed the Wallace Monument and walked through The Church of the Holy Rood and Stirling Castle. We walked the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Saw the beheading stone in Stirling. The histo...

I also recall people being interested in old 30-40 ammo boxes (cardboard) and perhaps I should post a photo or two of the ones ...

Loading 180 grain PSP’s over 38 grains of old IMR-4064 using the powder measure I finished off the can. It may have been a late 1970’s purchase. All my old powder and primers have given satisfying results as I worked my way back into shooting my ‘98 Krag. Now I was going to load all the brass and bu...

Butlersrangers,<br />Thanks for the information regarding the screws and barrel band. Yesterday I pulled the action for the first time and found the rear trigger guard screw the tightest. Since I had the action out i cleaned the metal bits w/0000 steel wool and oil, finding few areas of concern. Now...

<r>A few days ago I took my 96 Krag to the range for another attempt to make sense of it patterning at 50 yards - to the right and very low. First step was to ask an assist from a neighbor. He suggested a thorough cleaning. He used a chemical he said was like acid and must be used with caution. We h...

I have my copy. R
