No, you cannot do that. This a pretty primitive forum = about 4-5 generations behind the times. You need to put your photos on a third party photo hosting site and then link to them in your posts here.

I guess that explains why I could not find alternate instructions. :-) I am not ready to sign up with a third party photo posting site I am getting to old to deal with all the passwords i am dealing with now.
Is linking to another site like Krag Collectors Association acceptable here?
I post on the Practical Machinist forum and mentioning the CNC Zone site is forbidden.

I have a wonderful Krag, sporterized probably by Stoeger, with a low bucks peep sight, uncheckered wood, steel buttplate. It is built in classic style and a bit of checkering would bring it to much higher level of value and wonder. I have never shot it.

Post pictures! I'd love to see it. I have a nicely sporterized Krag but no idea who did it.

Well you can see it is not configured like a classic. The sight mount also serves as a pillar attachment point, with no barrel bands a US Krag needs a front pillar or something to keep it from trying to climb out of the stock when fired. The electronic sight is for hunting pigs in low light and fast getting on target. Disappointed that it does not transmit enough light to be used in moonlight. Interchangeable brass plates cover the 2 forward pillar screws. Stainless barrel sort of matched the patina of the old receiver. Should hit hard with 35 Remington bullets and a velocity 1/2 way between 35 Rem and 358 Winchester.
A friend of my uncle made or fitted a sporter stock, it was not well done and took many months to get it to the point oringinal type screws would line up with the receiver.

The resurrection of this thread made me recall a Krag rifle I bought at auction several years ago and stashed away. A somewhat typical cut down rifle with the exception of the CAL.22 LR receiver. The barrel and bolt are standard .30-40. The rifle is equipped with a Pacific rear sight base but the slide is long gone. The barrel is drilled and tapped for a set of Weaver bases that are contoured to match the barrel profile which allows a Scout type scope mount. I removed the bases and attached a rear adjustable sight for preliminary load testing. The barrel was installed with a short head space. Consequently, I had to shorten a sizing die to enable easy chambering of the brass. That all done, the rifles accuracy is very good with both lead and jacketed bullets as the bore is excellent. Question: Does the CAL.22 LR receiver add any particular value to the gun? I would expect a .22 LR Krag barrel and bolt to be plenty scarce. Thanks, Ken
