Gentlemen;
I just found and bought a Krag that was once a rifle. It was cut down to a carbine with a 23 inch barrel - very nicely crowned and perfect (though semi-worn rifling). The rework included refinishing the stock with a nice linseed-oil finish and, seemingly as much as possible cleanly filling in the rear sling swivel recess and removing the front sling loop. Then, cutting a side "saddle ring" loop below the receiver to complete the 'Carbine' design. The metal was refinished to a 'antique' brown (nicely now ..) and it appeared in the shop.
Anyway, the piece is pretty nice ~ my son developed a fever for it, I found some help in "Selling & swapping" for brass and the rifle is now ours.
Do any of you shooters out there have favorite 30-40 loads?
Good evening, Forrest
