Re: First Krag
Welcome. Pictures would help immensely in providing more detail. So far, what you describe is a sporterized Krag. How’s the bore look? Have you shot it?
Re: First Krag
Not shot.
Phone pics too large to post. Trying to figure how to reduce size.

Re: First Krag
Value with Redfield sight around $350. Value may increase if we can see pictures of the rifle!

Re: First Krag
Just open MS Paint and resize in equal parts the horizontal and vertical. My camera make pics that are 4 meg in size. I save as a new file name and reduce from there. Usually 40 percent gets me close then I fine tune from there. You can resize to whatever percentage you want just ensure you make a copy first.
Never work on your original unless you "save as" another name.

Re: First Krag
I actually use any Microsoft email to email the photos to myself. I use my disposable hotmail account most of the time. I send the photos to myself and when I hit send, it asks me what size to send the photos and lists the sizes. I choose the size that will allow me to post on the forum. Save the images and done.
