Brent, I've got $250 and a copy of my latest book invested so it looks like a bargain compared to the auction rifle Mike posted, eh?
J.D., Much thanks, but I'd be nuts not to take Mike up on his most generous offer!
I think you've got my address Mike, just don't expect to see it on the rifle very soon, but it will find a home on a hopefully, shortened barrel. I know the sight height drill from muzzleloader days. How long is you Krag brl with the '03 sight band? Are Krag barrels notoriously difficult to remove?
I think I can make the Redfield work if I fit a longer screw to flush on the inside so cartridges won't hang-up on the cut-off screw hole. (Didn't cotton to the Allen head anyway.) Anyone understand what I'm saying?
Mark, It's a cheap stock of it's day, but you're correct it's less likely to become a two-piece. The grip cap came installed, as did the not-to-bad steel buttplate, but the inletting is abysmal. When remove the rear action screw, the action pops up about 1/4". Tooo much front tension!
8B, I know, I tried!
So let's see your favorite Brown Rifle, even if it's been buffed and blued like my Krag!
Thanks to all!
Steve
