Re: You heard it here first
I'm betting we see The Cackler before then. Gonna be a long, hot, nasty summer - don't know if Brandon will hold up. Every slip of the lip will show how far gone he is. And, for those who say he gave his whole life in service to his country - I say he was WELL compensated, both over AND under the ta...

Re: M1898 Krag carbines
That's quite an addition to our small list, Dick. It sure would be nice to know which ones, or how many, are still in the short stocks with the sling and ring and Model 1896 rear sight. Thanks. Yes, it would, but the list is from long ago, and I just wasn't noting thaings like that, unfortunately. ...

Wasn't the whole thing also posted here - and so should be available somehow - or was it by link reference only? Hope it isn't gone - was kinda neat . . .

Re: M1898 Krag carbines
If not announced previously, I have found my old file, compiled over the years, of 1898 carbines that I had reason at the time of entry to believe were genuine. I only saw a very few of them in person and was not keeping track of physical details. All that I can say is that I did not enter anything ...

Re: Boxer Rebellion II: Revenge of the Boxers
I've read numerous articles both ways on the China/Taiwan issue, and there is no consensus. One faction says they can/will - the other says the negatives for China are too great. You can also get wildly different opinions of China's economy and REAL military capabilities. Having said all that, livin...

Re: 1898 .30-40 vs 1894 6.5x55 for action stregnth?
The test Dick is referring to was performed many years ago by Michael Petrov... and demonstrated that the US Krag was actually incredibly strong. As Dick said... it took a LOT to cause a failure! https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=211013 Rest assured, I woul...

Re: 1898 .30-40 vs 1894 6.5x55 for action stregnth?
I just wanted the info. I'm not converting either rifle. My question is "how strong is the Krag action?" With 100 K PSI on the bolt handle with the lug milled off,that answers my question. To clarify, and it is certainly there as a last resort, but the bolt handle was not what was used fo...

Re: 1898 .30-40 vs 1894 6.5x55 for action stregnth?
Cannot comment on steel quality or method of hardening, etc. between the two actions, but one salient point that I've always heard is that the Norwegian action was lapped, or otherwise machined so that the safety rib also bears on the receiver, providing almost double the locking surface in contact ...

Re: Boxer Rebellion II: Revenge of the Boxers
I agree about WW3 and the deep shit. The Donald is FAR from perfect, but he is, IMHO, way ahead of whoever is in second place. The FIRST thing we need to do is to get the Dems OUT. THEN worry about a more appealing candidate going forward in the future.
