Thanks for the write up and slide show. I bought a Krag this past weekend. Bolt is like silk, bore is still in decent shape. Cant wait to shoot it once it's cleaned. Mine was made in 1900, so is very close to identical to the one in the slide show.

Uhhh - the U.S. Krag is NOT (other than 100 rifles and 100 carbines experimentally fitted with the Parkhurst device, but never issued to troops) "loaded with chargers" !!!
It is disturbing to see a mis-statement of this magnitude.
