So, Its been a while, and the firearm has been in storage since my last post. I bought a house, with a nice garage and will be planning on a workshop soon enough (with a loft for my ham radio shack). So more work is to be done, on ALL of my firearms then.

As for now, I will be bringing this Krag into work with me to get some hands on time. Im an Armourer for Canadas Glorious Army, and I have a WAY better workshop and tooling there at my disposal. I was not keen on mixing work and pleasure.. but I dont see any other choise for this poor rifle at this time. If I want to hunt with it.. I had better get on this NOW!

I would suggest that before you go the fire lap route try paper patching. plain old news print is pretty aggressive. try a half dozen PP first. It's aggressive on corrosion ad crud but much less so on steel. more of a polish.

Hope this helps Cap'n
