Take that Krag Home!
Did you buy it from tagmil by chance?
Nope, not tagmil.
In my experience, fellas, there’s two types of gun stores. The hunting type (more Winnie 94s on the wall than AR15s) and the tactical type (vice versa). Fortunately, Kentucky is rife with the hunting type. I tracked down some ammo and took some pics but wasn’t able to cut out some time to shoot.
That old piece of walnut and steel was happy to be back home though :). Pictures and range report coming next weekend!
Keep us updated. We wait with bad breath!

That's Knoxville, TN.....not KY. The same location had been a military camp during the Civil War.Quote:

You will notice too how well the finish matches between the new barrel and the other parts - I'm quite happy with that!
Sorry about my bad geography.
31st Michigan Vol. Inf. was moved from SAW training camp at Chickamauga, Georgia, to Knoxville, Tennessee, due to outbreak of disease.
(I have no idea why I confused these two fine states).
Nice restoration 'rcathey' !
I would guess cholera? Due to close living and water issues?Quote:

Profuse Apologies - I have no desire to distract from rcathey's Krag rebuild and adventures!
