Re: Not a Krag hand guard
Br,
I hear you. Unless you needed a 405 for hunting large or dangerous game it would not make sense to have one. Even having a Winchester 95 in 30/40 might get old if the thing was not smooth and trouble free like a Krag. Seems like I read something about pinch points on the 95. Having gun shops nearby to handle these things, look at the machining, over all fit and finish, and design pluses and minuses must be nice. Then you put it back on the shelf and say I am glad I did not have to buy one of those to learn that stuff.
