That sure looks like a hunting rifle to me. You never know how bad the barrel is until you shoot a couple boxes through it. Some Krags will feed spitzer or plastic-nose bullets which is a plus if you reload. Iron sights is all you need given the effective range of the 30-40 round. Keep that front sling swivel! And good luck!

So I thought I would give you an update. I cleaned the barrel and loaded some 150 gr with 19 gr of 2400. I remember what my neighbor told me many years ago about shooting a gun that is old and questionable. “Tie it to an old tire and tie a string to the trigger. Get back a good ways and give the string a yank” Sounded like good advise so I did it. Everything looks good. I think I will have a Gunsmith look it over to make sure everything is OK. Thanks for all the guidance and advise. Ray
