Use the correct screw driver, then if that does not work, pack the slot with valve grinding compound for extra grip.

thx, going to get the wood and try to finish it up, just been having too much fun shooting it.

It can be done, just takes some time to locate the parts. I started with a Type 99 that had a cut down stock and restored it and I am into it for less than I would have paid for a original.

My on going restoration project, 1896 Krag serial 52063. I have the metal parts, just need to get the replacement front stock and hand guard ...

This is not my first Milsurp, nor restoration. I started with a March 41 Garand and a Carbine. Since then I have added a 1903, 1917, a Dec 41 Lend Lease Garand and a K-31, But the Krag is the oldest....

I took it out to the range today and put almost 60 rounds thru it without a problem, other than without the upper handguard, the barrel just radiates the heat and distorts the sight picture.

I...

I am new to Krags,...

Has anyone taken Tokorov ammo and broken it down and reloaded it for the C96 ?

I found out my rifle had a lost twin which I located in the local ads, and I discovered thier names, Bang and Boom, Bang is left handed, Boom is Right handed. ...

The full stock is my own creation. It is a M-1 Carbine stock with the AR-7 reciever and barrel fitted to it. It carries 2 spare mags that are inset into the stock and has a crossman red dot sight.

Here is my AR-7 collection

I found the sling mount parts and 60 rnds of ammo, so I am set for a little while.

Good deal, I would not have past it up. I have 2 Charter Arms AR-7 Explorer rifles and a AR-7 Explorer II pistol.

I just picked up a 30-40 Krag, serial 52XXX, and am looking for ammo or brass to load and it seems that everyone is out , anyone know who might have brass ? Also I am looking for the rear sling...

I hear the cap go off and a split second later, the main charge, so the delay is not that long, but it is longer than a center fire primer.

Had some fun today, I picked up a chronograph the other day and deceided to see what the rifle did. With 50gr of powder it was pushing 1039 fps, with 100 gr, it was 1629 fps.

Yes, but it is a fraction of the time of a flintlock and it is a pop boom sound.
I had a Hawkens Flintlock I built from a kit, but it was stolen when my house was broken into.

It sounds like we have the same rifles. Mine was missing a thimble and of course, I did not have a ram rod. I contacted the manufacturer in Italy and the parts I needed were going to run me $100. I...

and pay $40, vs $1 for a zerk fitting and $3 for grease. I'll pay the $4, and keep the other $36 for other things.

no, because I had no way to attach the hose to the barrel,and I don't think I could hold a hose against the nipple fitting with close to 2000 PSI coming out of the hose, also I did not want a...

This morning I picked up a Cabellas Hawkings .50. Overall it is very good shape with a few stock bangs and such, but there was one little problem. Someone had managed to break off the end of the ram...

how much was it for the reline and refurbishing ? I have 2 C-96s and would like to have do one in 9mm and the other in 30 Mauser.
