Got his old bubba sling swivel removed, spacer built, epoxied in, sanded down and the correct sling swivel mortise milled and swivel installed. Next week I’ll recut the grasping grooves. Still a lot to do.

I found a solid krag handguard but he’s not going to spend 100.00 for one. Got an old garand handguard that I’ll play with t...

Nicely done. Your build is right down my alley. My bud just gave me his cutdown to do a faux school rifle rebuild on. He has a legit carbine but was wondering what I could do on his cut up rifle. Just getting started on it. It had a goofy home made sling swivel on the buttstock that I’m removing, wi...

A good shooting bud wants me to rebuild his ‘carbine’ into a constabulary rifle. He’s always liked my 1899 constabulary/school rifle. He has a legit Krag carbine.

I’ve been using about 10.0 gr VV Tin Star with a 193 gc Hunter’s Supply bullet. Nice easy load for our club’s BAM matches. I use the same load and bullet in my 30-06 ‘03 Springfields too. We don’t use jacketed bullets on steel at our cas club.

Too many big words....and history too. They have trouble with current events. A lost cause. Hopefully they wont infect too many innocent family members before they succumb.

Im waiting for short Irish men to sue Lucky Charms. Its magically delicious.
