Re: 30-40 Brass (sort of)

I'm no expert... but I suspect resizing ain't gonna bring it back into spec! I agree, but for the cost of shipping, figured if someone can use it for a wildcat round or something. Thankfully I headed the warnings from this site and others that 30-40 brass is not always plentiful and stocked up with...

Re: Military Krag

I’m sure someone can/will come back when this was manufactured. But the best thing you did was come here before making a purchase Regardless of the S/N or date of manufacture, the rifle has no historical value with the modifications that have been made. If it’s has a true carbine sight, the parts ma...

Re: "D" Day, today

Thanks for sharing. My great uncle Leonard died in France in 44 fighting for freedom. My grandfather survived the war but never spoke of it. He’s gone now, but I can only imagine the travesty he witnessed. Seems every generation is getting more and more soft. Either understanding nor appreciating th...

Re: New to me 1896 Krag

The new member bought this parts Krag and asked for information. I thought I was being kind and spent some time on my response. It was my gift to the new guy. You were kind in taking the time to give an informative response. Something I personally value. I knew little of Krags when I bought mine (s...

Re: New to me 1896 Krag

Welcome to KCA. Very pretty cut down rifle. Others will chime in with more information than I. Can’t see if the sight is a carbine or rifle, but the stock looks like a cut down rifle to me. When you receive the rifle, look to see if there’s a square plug in the front end. The stock is likely a repla...

Re: New Krag Carbine

The enigma is that the "C" is on the left-side of the blade. Typically, the carbine front blade, that goes with the model 1901 and model 1902 carbine rear-sights, measures .355 inches. The "C" is visible with the blade installed in its base. But the "C" is normally on ...
