Re: This old Krag Rifle is new to me

Re: This old Krag Rifle is new to me

The first photo shows the screw that was in the rifle when I got it (top) and the early butt plate screw (bottom) that I just received. The difference in the screw head is apparent. <br /><br />The second p...

Re: This old Krag Rifle is new to me

<r>Went to a local gun show yesterday - mostly because I wanted to visit Bill Ricca's table (he's usually at the gun shows I call local) and pick up some Garand items.
