Nice!!!
Very cool!!! Interesting that it's smaller than the Users Manual that comes with a new car.

Good looking rifle.
I will miss that forum, it was one of my 'daily stops'. A lot of good info and pretty good moderators too.
Nice looking rifle.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. You're eyes aren't deceiving you, the pins are visible. The spline does seem to be present. I won't be taking the sight off to verify, but there is something...

RCS, Thanks for posting those photo's. That's a very impressive collection you have at your fingertips. Makes a great reference! By comparison, I only have one other 1903. It's another RIA made...

If you don't have any luck here, you take a look at the classifieds on the Krag Collector Association Forum.
Thanks for the info. I plan on doing that, but it will have to wait until I'm finished with my current project - 92 Krag.
Another adventure in your life successfully navigated. Glad to hear you're doing well.
:D I'm surprised it took this long for somebody to call me on that one.
Seems to be epidemic. Last week a WWII Memorial Submarine in Hackensack NJ was vandalized and then flooded. While this isn't on the same level as grave desecration - it's very disturbing.

It's hard to tell if there is more there or not. The focus in the area of interest is not too good. Even the 7 is difficult to make out. Edit: It will take a really good photo of the area to try...
