I bought this No1Mk3 in 2021 to rebuild. The forend had been thinned to nothing and it was missing parts. My first British boltgun. I bought the parts i needed and put it back together but never...

Sorry your mount was bad. My M12 was substandard also but East Taylor is the only guy building them. I was more concerned on the correct diameter for my barrel which was dead on. My unit had a run...

A varied collection. Seconds on the Krag. Also have dies. What caliber is the long barreled roller chambered in? You would get along with a guy in our cas club. When we do a BAM match he brings a...

I guess I fall in the category of a shotgun owner shooter who has a bunch of them but doesn’t shoot them very much. Last count I’ve got 15 I think... 3xModel 12s, 5xMarlin pumps, 2xStevens pumps,...

Groucho as Rufus T. Firefly used an insult in Duck Soup, “Don’t leave in a huff, leave in a minute and a huff.”

Nice looking rifle.

Very nice woodwork. Going to look great.

Very nice find. I won’t tell the wife.shhhh.

I used Brownells cold blue on my M12 trenchgun [in the white] heat shield/mount. But Fords gunsmithing is in Florida. I can’t imagine they couldn’t blue it for you. Your pix isn’t very good but they...

We are shooting a BAM/double action revolver match this month along with our regular cas shoot. I want to use the Krag SRC and a couple of .455 Smith Hand Ejectors. We are doing a mandatory 5 round...

I found this cutie at the Raleigh show last weekend. A 1903 Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55. Very clean shape, crisp grasping grooves, a few dings but nothing major. It was 700.00 but I walked away to look...

Nice project ‘97, looking forward to seeing your work progress. Never did much with my ‘97s except shoot them and replace the bad wood on my mismatched sn gun.

Thank you.

I have been neck sizing my .30-40 brass with a 308 sizer in order not to overwork the hard to get krag brass keeping it segergated between my other Krags. What works in one is tight in the other. I...

This followed me home from the Baltimore Military show, might as well show it here. An 1896 Krag SRC with a slightly sanded stock with poor cartouches. A couple of chips and a small crack in the...

I’ve also used leather dye to match repair patches on stocks. Works good.

This is what a poster on machinegunboards said to my M12 build thread there. He says 2 3/8 inches from the stock toe [not including the buttplate]. I blued my shield as it came in the white....

Very nice job. I did a cut down Krag into a school rifle for a good friend. Krags are super.

124763124764Heres a pix of my unblued shield, the solid steel between the rows of holes was flatter [see where I’ve circled]. Using my homemade anvil I put a nice curve in it. And the finished...

I can’t tell you why there is a hole in the mag plug. Mine has no hole. But I will say that my east Taylor heat shield had flats between the rows of holes. Makes sense as the weaker steel [where the...

My two rebuilds have 18 groove pump handles, one [the riot] is from 1925 and the other [the trench] is from 1940.

I was always under the impression that M12 barrels were very difficult to change out and fit to another recvr but also required special Winchester tools and M12 parts to fit to a different recvr. I’m...

Put the leg strap through the square part not the holster then put some stitches of waxed thread between the loop you show and the bottom of the holster. Run them vertically and pull them tight and...

You only need enough extra spring to get that last single shell to feed reliably. Were not talking about a luger that you use a tool to load the magazine because of it’s heavy duty spring which is...

I shortened my M12 trench magazine in order to get rid of the takedown pin holes. I honestly don’t know how the real trench guns were done. Guessing they would pull the mag tubes from the line before...
