<blockquote>That is a beautiful sporter there! Do I see a Weaver scope mount on the receiver side? Sporters definitely have their place in the Krag world... and they're great fun too!!!</blockquote><br /><br />Thanks. Yes it does have a weaver side mount on it.

<blockquote>Looks like fun. Mine did not survive my Krag & single shot mania. I have since read that the receivers were modified from the later No. 4 receivers. Apparently modifications were more extensive than just a new barrel & all new wood. Do you have a No. 4 for comparison?</blockquote...
