It's a Krag, model 1898, so it is made by Springfield, there are no other markings on the base other than on the other side has range markings,
I recently picked up a model 1898 rifle that was missing the ladder and slider from the rear sight, I ordered what I thought were the correct parts, but the ladder does not fit it is almost as if the...

There are times I really hate Cabellas, went in a couple of weeks ago to pick up a Type 44 Arisaka I had on Lay away but before I did I went to the gun library and, well that was a mistake. I saw 5...
It wasn't a CMP auction, it was from a local auction house. The barrel is original, it is dated 2-20
M1903, Thx for looking that up.
I placed a bid on a auction and they took me seriously, so I ended up with another 1903 to go along with the other two I all ready have.
I have yet to take it to the range, maybe next weekend.

Anything in the SRS books ?
I am in the process of disassembling and cleaning and there is lots of old grease or cosmoline and crud. The Lyman sight is gummed up, that will be going into the...

you cannot fire a 8mm Mauser or 7.7 Jap out of a 1903 or 1917. Both rounds are shorter than the 30-06. You can use 30-06 brass to make 7.7 or 8mm brass all it takes is trimming and reforming by...

a Feb 56 Springfield Garand, possible faint import mark on the barrel, no cartouches, previous owner installed a finger type muzzle brake. I think I did ok at $750.

If you can't find brass, just form it out of 30/06 brass. Take the capping pin out of the die, lube up the case and run it into the sizing die, trim to length.
If you don't want to damage your investment, shoot only black powder loads, it is what it was designed for. As Dick said, make sure the case is full and if you use less than a full case of powder,...
I load for 4 swiss rifles, a 96/11, 1911, K11 and K31 using Lee dies and a Hornady LnL progressive press. The biggest problem I had was getting the overall length right. I could chamber a round in...
