I remember seeing a video clip of walking fire. Neat piece!

Here's a pic of the ends of the waist belt:

Can't find anything similar online.

The "B" kinda looks similar to the B in Boyt, but it isn't square to anything and I don't see anything...

Guessing this is a foreign military version of a BAR magazine belt. Auction buy, bunch of junk in the box mostly. Has some age but can't find an exact match online. The ends of the adjustable waist...

I don't have a very precise tool handy but it looks like mine (known not original) comes out a hair under .4, about 25.5/64ths.

Hey did we just...add a new data point?!? Thus the sausage is made!...

OK, good to know, I figured there might be a spring in there somewhere but I see how it works. Neat. I'll hit it with my purse next time.

Finally got to shoot. I knew I remembered some kind of round-nose in the multi-generational family ammo heap, but the rounds I was thinking of turned out to be 6.5x55. It's a big heap, tho, and in...

Nah, I figure I'll hold on to it until/unless I find a better one.

Does look a lot cleaner than mine...

The worst part of the brazing is what you saw in the first pic. The rest looks better, but still nothing like the exemplar. It's definitely it's a cut barrel and reinstalled sight, just as you said...

OK, great, thank you! The stock has no marks on the nose. The only stamps I can make out other than the AAP are what looks like a faint "F" to the left of the AAP, a number "4" in front of the...

Thanks Jim, I made an edit with some more specific questions. I figured I was getting my money's worth, or close to it, when I bought the set. The underlying - faint - hope is that it might be a...

I'll let the pictures tell the tale. Please let me know if I should include any other pics and thanks in advance for any information.

Bolt is...

Yep, not quite what I was hoping but I didn't lose any skin. When I run up some ammo I'll see what happens on the range and make a decision then about whether to keep it. I'd like to eventually...

Sure, makes sense. Well, all that's left is to see how it shoots. I'm only into the rifle for about $750 anyway, snagged a very nice 1917 at the same auction so I'm still happy.

Thank you again...

I came up with 22" via the described method yesterday. I'll remeasure, but I think regardless you're spot on. The shoulder between the crown and the barrel is more abrupt than anything I've been able...

That is one attractive rifle! Wood and bluing really work well together. Reminds me of an older Smith revolver.

Here's the muzzle. As you can see there are nicks and scratches and coloration that looks like the rest of the barrel and the rest of the gun, so it never occurred to me it might be cut off and...

Very interesting! Thank you, I greatly appreciate your taking the time to explain so clearly.

I guess now the question is whether it's the original barrel. I would've never suspected the barrel...

Good to hear! Maybe I'm not hallucinating. I took about a dozen pictures in different lighting but none are conclusive.

I also now see the remains of a Circle P on the bottom of the stock wrist....

After several days of staring at this front sight blade I'm beginning to imagine I can see the outline of where a "C" stamp once was, not doubt worn away during numerous mounted pursuits of Moro...

Well, I guess I timed this post pretty poorly, put it up right before the site went down. I imagine the original photos will likely reappear at some point but I'm anxious to hear some opinions so...

Awesome.

I rarely sell anything, but I keep a running Excel spreadsheet so my wife doesn't get ripped off at my estate sale.

New acquisition and my first Krag. Bore looks really good, only mark on the stock is a 45 stamped behind the trigger guard. I've done some reading and think it looks good but what do I know? Rear...

Thanks! Yeah, very pleased with this. It was an auction where I was really looking at a Krag, pictures weren't great and details were scarce, but I took a chance and threw a bid on it. Nobody else...

I'm not the best photographer but I'm happy to share! Let me know if there's anything in particular I should take a photo of. Guess I shouldn't be fixated on the screws. It has some honest wear,...
