First Krag - 1898 Ceremonial Rifle

[browningautorifle]

I'm sure I remember seeing or hearing of it on another forum, the paint color reminds me... I'd go ahead and remove the chrome, it looks OK after. Then a bit of hand polish and blue I'd think...Professional hot blue, but you can do the polishing. The bore should get cleaner every time you shoot. Thanks for showing us after the tease on the other thread. I'd have bought it too.

Thanks for the input. Yes I posted it on gunboards and the consensus there was leave it as is - the chrome is part of it's history. I can see both points of view - I'll mull it over a while before I decide.
