    Damn - I sacrificed my only 5-groove barrel (which isn't SA anyway) when I restored my M1882 28"B XTRB 197404 last year. If I'd only known I could have sold it to Fred I might have gone another...

    I sorta wish you had said you were "thinking about buying this carbine". The time to solicit opinions is before the fact, not after.

    That number is not listed in SRS, BUT the closest ones that...

    I have seen it mentioned before, but cannot recall where or when. Never saw an answer, and for the life of me cannot see what purpose it would serve. I'd also note that the holes are not IDENTICAL,...

    Well, eBay of course! Now, does anyone have a Weaver catalog, or other data for which model "N" was meant for the Krag? Receiver is already drilled and tapped - I THINK it was the "N2".

    Yes, I...

    Any idea what I might have to pay for a J2.5 and "N" mount. Looking to 'restore' my first hunting rifle (a mint 1898 Krag which I "sporterized" as a teenager, 70 years ago).

    REALLY good video. It's a pleasure to listen to a man who knows what they are talking about. I am fortunate enough to own an 1885, but have never shot it. That may change. From the late Gene...

    The stacking swivel band was available but optional, supposedly at the troop commander level. Not all early carbines have them (16572 does not and never did). They leave little dings in the wood from...

    Figured it did, but had to ask, since there were 100 rifles made that year with the shorter barrel for trial. Glad you found the screws!

    You could tap it gently with a hammer and a small block of wood. There should be nothing holding it except crud/rust/friction - nothing "mechanical" to break, but they DO get tight. Just for grins,...

    Is the receiver marked .22 on the S-P barreled guns? Thought that was just on the SA-GP rifle? BTW, Kragrifle, fantastic piece!

    There's "nice" and then there's "mint". The last few percentages almost double the price. You can still find a VERY "nice" example in the $1500 range. Don't give up!

    I know, so do I. I'm even a member of the OFC (do you remember the Duke's dying words?), but, facts are facts. Virtually no one posts here for either TD or Krag any more. Part of that of course is...

    Graham Burnside (yes, I am THAT old) will be chuckling in Valhalla over that. It was featured - as a prized possession - in a "Shooting Times" article he did in 1957.

    No posts for two months, and that was one of those STUPID "I saw a Krag in a movie" ones. Why not transfer your business to the KCA site?

    I'm sure I could use them, how much do you want, and where should I send the money? Bullets by themselves should not have any legal issues, even in the PDRK.
