Thank you for sharing the video. I like my old Krags even more now.

These rifles last longer than one's eyesight for sure. I enjoyed the honesty about the shooting at 100 yards........k:cheers:

Interesting results especially with such ugly looking damage to the muzzle/crown. 'Hard to believe the results. Now, an explanation would be great as I have spent considerable funds and time and...

Thank you all for the helpful information. I will check these two rifles over carefully with respect to the bolts and locking lug surfaces and am grateful and relieved to learn that the casing...

Thank you, 'am feeling a bit better with this info. Any concerns over the length of the casings after firing? I have never had any other hunter or milsurp produce casings like this, altho' I have...

Further to the puzzling results from firing two of my now scoped Carcano sporters I did thorough cleaning of the chambers and throat of the barrels and did find some gooey material but no brass...

Thanks for the additional info. The actions "tightened up" meaning they were stiff and harder to open after firing a round, not that they required struggle but did take more effort to open and clear...

Thanks Aragirn243 and Vuntage Hunter for the suggestions on possible interior chamber scraping....'will check for brass shavings/grit and also on rounds fed and ejected to see if the scrapes show up...

With respect to Carcano 6.5x52mm Privi ammunition I recently fired two rifles to which I had just added scopes. In both cases the actions tightened up after firing and most of the brass casings...

Better learn to swear in Swedish to help the metal part of the project along.......German works too! Best wishes and lots of patience on this project. For drying out old (antique) carvings of wood...

HI Calfed, Hope this will be helpful for anyone who thinks they have done a complete job bending the bolt handle of a M96 to accomodate a scope: Your post turned out to be very helpful for me...

Great info and pics....it's great to see that the repairs worked out well for you........just curious to learn what crowning tool you used?

Great pics CALFED
Leupold makes bases for the M96 that fits the M38 also that has holes spaced at .860" on the front base and at about 5/16".....for the rear windage base. You would need to drill a...

Great info Sixteen'.........I really liked your shooting bench. There seems to be a lot of uncertainty about the dimensions of the bore and rifling, and the chambers and bolts of these "sporterized"...

A huge thank you to all the U.S. and Canadian soldiers who have kept us free and secure for decades, and prayers for peace and solace to the fallen and to the wounded and their families and friends. ...

This may bring scoffs and laughter but I would, for good value and possible future gains in value, look at what are very inexpensive rifles (Carcanos in two calibers), Norwegian Krags and Swedish...

Spooky to think a firearm would be altered in this manner and leave some future user at risk. Mind you I bought a 20 gauge shotgum to which had been added rifle sights and all looked fine. On the...

Ruger in #1 and some Husqvarnas were commercially produced in 30/40 Krag for sport hunting as well.....probably others on a short term production runs that died out as "superior" rounds and rifles...

Thank you. Whoever did the work was very skilled. It's like having a custom rifle worth 15 times more than it cost initially. The second trigger is very light and probably is what helped with...

Update on the Carcano 6.5x54 MS. Yes the barrel of the Carcano 6.5x54 MS is from the 80s (1988 I believe, Austrian) and I was able to get to the range finally and fired from a gun rest. 'Still want...

Just for info TradeEx in Montreal has a nice Krag Jorgensen sporter in 8x57 I was very tempted but have many other Krags to keep me busy and maybe some one on this site might want it .:surrender:

Thanks for the info and the warning, I'll keep that in mind as have read that several times about doing any drilling on US Krags. 'Did not know the parts/scope mounts could be that expensive! I'll...

Hi Edl, Congrats on finding any US Krag....that's success right there. Should you ever decide to remove and sell the Rice Bolt Peep please send me a PM. They or anything remotely close to them...

Back to the drawing board! Another problem with the S&K mount that seems to be resolved by the Miller Kodisl Dreammount andiarisake describes above, besides all the others already mentioned, is that...

'Am very happy to share some pics of my recently scoped and freshly sighted-in Carcano in 6.5x54 mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer (MS). The rifle was purchased from a chap in Alberta, from whom I have...
