Re: Help Identifying Krag Please

Oh, and the pictures helped a ton, thanks for posting them. But, if you make them smaller, around 300-400 KB, they will be more manageable and if you can take some clearer pictures, we might be able to help identify your rifle and parts better. I went on what I think I could see from the blurry pict...

Many of us Krag lovers don't have a family treasure like this to enjoy and pass through the family. Tha...

Re: People be messin' with Michigan

Paul- You were guilty until proven innocent! Our system isn't supposed to work that way.

And, it cost you a bunch of money to prove you didn't have to pay and were guilty of tax fraud.

Glad you survived that one without a prison term. Whew!

Re: A Question

<r>You'd need a pistol that looks like this one to shoot 30-40 Krag ammo out of, wouldn't you??<br /><IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/Krag_Pistol.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attach...

Re: Stand Your Ground

Yea.

It's all Trump's fault. He spews divisive racist comments every day that's tearing this country apart.

Stand Your Ground

I guess I don't know all the exact details of this Florida case yet but I don't think the Stand Your Ground law protects someone from a stupid shooting. It sounds like the aggressor in this deal was bullying the defendant but, after he pushed the defendant down, backed off and started to turn to wal...

Re: Intro and evaluation of 1899 carbine

A lot of people use mineral spirits to clean layers of crud and gunk off a wood stock without problems. Go easy because I don't like to remove too much of the often quite beautiful and historic patina. I always give all of my Krag stocks a good rubbing and rejuvenation with Howard's Feed and Wax whi...

Re: Intro and evaluation of 1899 carbine

Mr. Pickax. Thanks for all of your work on the pictures. Honestly, they are still lacking in focus and detail but I think I can give an early summary of what you have acquired from what I see. It does get frustrating trying to get this done when you haven't fooled with it before but we try to have f...
