US Springfield Trapdoor Rifles, Springfield Trapdoors, plus (way too) many others involving Krags, American Flyer trains, Austin-Healeys, etc. ad nauseam .

Bingo! I run a taut ship on FB. You MUST answer our brief questions (3) or it is no go. Have 16 wannabes backed up now. My postings on the matter have yet to generate a negative comment.

Upon further reflection, while the "old" groups seem to be fading, Facebook is flourishing. I moderate one of the TD groups there, and we get, on average 3-4 new join requests every single day -...

Dying interest I guess, though both KCA and John Spangler's save of Frasca's board are doing fairly well. Al's followers are just happy they can type in English and post pictures.

364 people viewing (REALLY??) and not ONE of them has anything to say? Sad.

That leaves me out - mine is certainly OK, but not "really nice". IIRC, on 6692 the [BA-WJ] is surcharged right over the remains of a [JSA/date]. On the carbine, there does not appear to have ever...

Not to hi-jack, but I have two BA-marked Krags. (1) My CRE carbine 70210, and (2) My 1892/96 rifle 6692, if that is of any help.

Mark, I may have one - will look.

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...

Time to get out the number stamps, I guess . . . :1948:.

I still check in here from time to time - this morning the icon said there were 80 people viewing! That's great, but where are the posters? No one has anything to say? No one has any questions?...

I still check in here from time to time - this morning the icon said there were 124 people viewing! That's great, but where are the posters? No one has anything to say? No one has any questions?...

BUT, ONLY want the version with "28"B" stamped on left side of base and left rail of ladder. NOTHING else will do. Thanks!!

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).

Thanks all! 86 is all good, so far . . .

Thanks, Dan.

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,...

Thanks, but which gun is that? Pictures are TINY!

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