    Quick loading a Krag

    As I prepared to use my Kragicon for the first time in the local CMPicon match, I hunted for a way to reload fast for the prone rapid fire stage. Talked with a gentleman on the Krag Collectors forum who makes quick loaders but he is currently in process of moving.

    I eventually found that a standard Mosin stripper clip does a fair job with some practice. The key is to slip it all the way in the opening and push the rounds with your index finger as you pull up the clip slightly with your thumb and middle finger.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    This is that full length parade/VFW rifle we looked at? After shooing you found it was good as is? I guess all is well and it's earning it's keep...

    Yes it is. Decided not to refinish it after getting considerable advice to maintain it's history.

    I found the rough bore bore shoots amazingly well with .311 Sierra 180 gr pro hunters.
