I feel your pain. A scarce sought after rifle with a 'Fly in the ointment'...very sad. Got a Westinghouse myself.
I've a 1874 model. I didn't like the folding trigger to gaze upon, but it makes it fit a slim holster better.
Update... got a DP No. 3 on the way...will strip it for parts. Hoping it is in decent shape of course.
I concur, but sometimes I'll put lipstick on a pig just because. I rarely sell such units... my kids can fight over them when I pass.
But sporters are fun...like thrice divorced women. You can't be...
Sometimes it ain't about the value afterword. Got a Bubba'd Springfield Krag that fits me like nothing else...still cool. No Safe Queens at my house.
"Sometimes a fellow has to do what they think is right"...said every Bubba everywhere.:nono:
It's a neat rifle...I'll think hard about a repro stock set. Didn't think I'd won the lottery.
This one...
Thanks for the help. LE and Mausers have such a variety...often times one gets bad advice because it is out of a members niche. Some good points you have forwarded...this gives me something to work...
Not exactly an Atta-boy. Thanks for the encouragement. I somehow thought it would be better received than that....foolish me.
This followed me home. I'm located in Alberta. Repro Stock front and back would likely be a 1st investment.
Can't read Siamese, but I'd say it's non matching...the symbols look different, no?
Any...
One of these units has wandered into my ellipse of influence. If someone knows something about them...I'm listening.

It's not even...
Interweb is quite vague on the matter... if you shoot yours...what brand of shells do you use? I thought T22's would be the ticket, but the Chrono says they are rolling about 1250 fps, better with...
Yes. Thanks for the tip on the ammo...I've some old T22 winchester fodder around here...ill be sure to use it
Does anyone here know anything about these units? Picked one up....seems marvelous. Any scuttlebut on them?
Good morning folks...can't remember if this is 1st post or not. Been lurking in the darkness for a while now.
Played lots on CGN... I found the forum here much friendly. Usually the same guys, same...
On a sister site there is a guy selling an 'Numbers matching sniper' with a straight bolt handle. I inquired about the difficulty of working a straight bolt on a Sniper with a scope...got a 'Salty...
Beg pardon, I did not see a liability issue. But I suppose you folks have to consider the lowest common denominator... an idiot suing someone.
Thank you for the direction BAR
Thanks for the help guy's, but an 'amount' of a given powder would have been even more helpful
1993, any info on it as far as serial number history?
I think the magazine isn't correct. There should be a plate welded over the enbloc drop hole (term?).
But it shoots good and ejects well, excellent bore. Too bad the wood is cut down. Apparently the...
There is a M95M leaning by the wood stove at my side.
Is there anyone present who cares to see it or has one as well?
1994 actually is the S.N.
I lucked into a quite low S.N.'d Krag.
Is this out of the ordinary for Krags?
It's not a trophy by any means but it's got a great bore.
Being that it's an early unit is there any bugs or potential...
My daughter and I were just down by the creek with our 42M(b) & 46M shooting stalks of grass and twigs sticking out of the water. Lots more misses than hits but a good time and excellent practice....

Just got back from 10 days in Beautiful central AB, LOL.
The end cap isn't a Martini-Henry piece.
I just got through leafing through the final issue of G & A Surplus Firearms.
It appears that I've...
