Re: Not a Krag barrel

I have a Colt Army Special chambered in 32-20 that dates to 1910. At some point in time it was rebarreled using the muzzle end of an M1917 Flaming Bomb barrel dated 6-18.

Re: Triple 7 and other BP substitutes.

If you're looking to shoot light loads you could try Trail Boss. Or you could use Hodgdon's 60% H4895 data.

Your stock is repairable. I would talk to Dennis Earl Smith.
