The Kentucky Krag Rises Again

could be that Remington, in order to preserve us and cover their own rear, has loaded them with a fairly slow burning powder so as to keep pressure down....Murray KY! I'm a Murray guy too, Murray City, OH that is.

Oh I’m certain that’s right about Remington. I have an auction this weekend - a yearly gun-related sportsman auction. I should be able to snag some reloading stuff AND a few other things to sell on eBay. I’ll cut ol’ Remington right out of the loop!
Nice to see another Murrian of some sort here!

Thanks rcathey for providing the drawings for the wrench you made and the inspiration for tackling a similar project. I used them to make my own but ran into barrel trouble with a cbi replacement. It has what appears to have a chamber cut to full depth but is about 5/16" before index and with the barrel hand tight wont close on a new round made safe and stripped bolt.
But anyway here's some pictures of the wrench from your drawing. Worked great but I may have to get someone else involved to help finish mine up.

Fantastic! I didn’t even think about welding. I too machining at the vocational school during high school so that’s just the route I always think of.
I really like how you made yours into a proper wrench!
Thanks for sharing this.
