It needed that. Much nicer looking rifle.

Great work!

removed shellac

Way better with a matt finish...looks like business now.

Thanks, Jim,

Glad you are out there ! Could read the cartouche but doesn't really show - bubba had sanded. Shows 1901.

Have you shot this one yet Kab? Just wondering about the modified front sight. Probably shoots fine, that's usually why they were done.

Jim, not yet. Just finished the refinish. Looking forward to it as soon as health will allow. I don't reload and ammo as you know is like gold - if you can find it. My son likes this picture better - he did most of the work.

I don't reload

That's too bad. I have a set of dies with a trim die I'd send you to get at it...only one round of brass in there though. Reloading components are hard to get here as well as some cartridges.

I used my Krag rifle at The Western Games a few years back. Lots of odd stares and curious folks. The rifle ran just fine no hiccups at all. Rapid string was different with the rapid re-load. I load 45 grains of 4831 with and high-end 168gr bullet. Easy recoil and a fun day, even if it was hot at Phoenix. Just bring plenty of cold water and enjoy.

The rifle ran just fine no hiccups at all.

They sure shoot smooth...a real pleasure.
