As I remember, the Arisaka was one of the final refinements of the mauser design. The improvements that made this rifle stronger than the earlier 1903 and similar rifles included a chromed bore,...

The earlier production was a direct copy of the military rifle, the later design was different insofar as the piston and guide rods were changed. I do not recall any changes to the bolt.
Later...

Thank you gents, it seems there is more than I thought that needs to be corrected. Someone did a nice job of making/splicing this stock together, but, it seems that the flex in the magazine area is ...

Guys, I am appreciative of any input. if I knew the answers I damn well would not have asked. I admit my ignorance of the Krag action and am asking for help. Please???

Looking for input, why re-invent the wheel? Your suggestion for a barrel block is not a direction I would have chosen first. I am sure there are more experienced guys than me I can learn from.

I have a model 1898 Krag that has been sportered, not by me. The issue is that the stock on the gun is a weak and floppy mess, I happen to like it because it has a nice length of pull and is light...

Carbines are loud enough, sawed off must be impressive.

That I am aware of, no .22 is designed to be dry fired. The firing pin is intended to impact the rim and in it's absence can strike the edge of the chamber/barrel creating a burr or stressing the...

Hornady ammo is out there also, not sure if it is a seasonal run or not. I was not aware of throat dimensions, nice to know.
I have a sportered M99 that is quite accurate, very pleased with it for...

I found a can of belted ammo when I moved, is this collector ammo or just shooting ammo? I know it is corrosive ect... But is this of more interest to a collector?

OK, so it is not the easiest to take down and reassemble; when is that a major fault with a simple, reliable and accurate pistol?
If disassembly is too much trouble just soak the entire gun or spray...

First, I am about to have to move my ammo into un climate controlled storage; too much ammo and too little room. The building is not excessively hot. What if any issues can I expect with ammo stored...

I am working from memory, so forgive me if I am wrong. I think that part of your problem may be spring tension feeding the next round hard enough to keep the bolt from fully cycling and allowing a...

As I posted earlierr, some guns have a ammo preference, additionally, there are light and heavy bullet weights that can be a factor. I shoot the light (Hungarian and Russian) ammo from the 50's to...

Did not think the AR design could handle a cartridge of the 30-06 length.

Besides the BAR, look for a FN49, as far as I know it was the last semi-auto built for the 30-06. Commercial rifles would...

I have to agree with the above, you have to shoot it to find out. I have shot frosted/rough looking barrels only to find out that after 1-2 shots most of the frost was gone; high pressure cleaning I...

Now the world is a poorer place. Sad to see such a man pass.

This was exactly the input I wanted, thanks to all. I do have the option of going with a 8mm Turk that was sportered (and still shoots great) with several different rounds, but the Krag just gives...

The odds are certainly not in my favor, but it seems to be worth a try. I suppose I am just cheap, but I am having enough money problems to justify a try.
Thanks again.

The carbine is a Universal, it is one of the "clones" using surplus style parts and is interchangeable with military guns. The gas block was drilled so close to the edge of the block that it did...

I had not thought of a 30-30 round, that is the velocity range I am shooting; great suggestions. I am not familiar with the A-max bullet either, I will also look that one up.
I asked in order to...

Jimb, please check your messages.

My experience is that some ammo simply cycles better than other, my rifles seem to like russian (steel and copperwash) and hungarian ammo but give me fits with bolt opening on czech and any heavy...

Haven't thought of feed problems, thanks. I intend to be in a stand or tripod, I do not intend to face a pi$$ed off pig if I can avoid it.
I like the smooth action of the Krag a lot, that is why I...
