Agreed. Like firing a .45 cal howitzer.

IIRC, there was some legal question as to whether State militia could be used overseas and they sidestepped it by more or less disbanding and reforming the "(Insert State here) State militia" into ...

Yep, same here Paul. They come out as shown in Parashooter's photos.

Is this really what L42A1's are...

Krags and M1903's (high number, of whatever era and mfg. since there's no real difference between a 1918 RIA, a 1930 SA, or a 1942 RA) was the way to go, allowing for the 6mm Lee as well, if someone...

Great video! Those Steinmayer Krag chargers are slick! Viale makes everybody look grayer, balder, older, and fatter than they really are! Of course it doesn't help to be any (or all) of those things...

I think the scoring solution was handled fairly, and am glad that people spoke up about it, so Thanks! We were on 91, got to the line embarrassingly late (smack!) among other things, but had a great...

It was a little surprising that A) so few people attended -57?-, and B) there were more supposedly disallowed M1903A3's than Krags. Which FP were you guys on?

Everybody says this, but it's still true: The rifle is worth what you're willing to pay. I might give $200 for something like that if not rendered inoperable and had a useful bore, maybe $300 if the...

Very welcome, gents.

That's right, no other tricks, only aligning the pin holes of the ejector and receiver, but that's nothing. Maybe use a small magnet to hold the ejector steady while you're installing the pin. No...

Put the switch in the "up" position and locate the spring-loaded detent (looks like the end of a brad nail) in the gap between the cutoff and the receiver. Insert a small, thin flat blade screwdriver...

There'll be a couple of us going from the Cleveland area. I agree it's going to be an excellent match and it would be great to meet up with you guys.

I'm going too, Paul, so there'll be at least two of us on the line! Have they said anything about it other than the date, and that it's apparently a GSM Course A? Shirts? Medals? TR commemorative...

There is a fellow that posts on the CMP forums, Mr. Robert C. Lovell, who served as a radio operator in an armored artillery unit in the ETO toward the end of the war. He wrote a sizable memoir...

I hear ya, although that umbrella stand of Thorneycroft carbines might have to go!

That was quick. Thanks, swampyankee.

It's too late for warnings now!

Did you ever get a good answer to this question? I'm wondering too, for the same reason, although I don't have much of the C.E.S. gear. Thanks.

That's too bad. Spoke to him on the phone once about his NOS Krag bolt bodies,
seemed like a nice guy.

You did well at that price. I've been using a Konuspot 80 for about 5-6 years now. It's been dinged and banged some, and was blown off a bench onto the concrete once. Still doing fine. Great scope...

.Looks great! Straightforward repair, well thought out, using quality materials. Recipe for success.

Yes birch was used on No.4 rifles, as stated above.

Atticus Finch uses a sporterized Krag to kill the rabid dog in "To Kill a Mockingbird".

"Red Badge of Courage", lots of trapdoors in that one, various models, as well as some rifle-muskets (M1863, P1853 Enfield etc.).
