I am not ruining a perfectly good stock, I'm upgrading my rifle, thanks to my good friend who is sending it to me as a gift for this purpose.
This will be a very special rifle to me because of his generosity. I couldn't be happier just because of that. It will look very nice when I get it finished.
I am still wondering if I got the handguard figured out. From what I think I learned from you guys, I need the very top one on this page.

I have been having a exhausting but very good day. The coin sale went well. Not...
Okee doke ... I cleaned it up, the rifling is there but not strong, there are no pits inside the barrel. The bolt looks pretty good. I can't get the single shot selector to move. The stock was cracked badly. There are no cartouches or other markings on the stock visible, so I suppose if it is a...
I picked up the rifle today. Just got home. I think we are in for a letdown as it is clearly marked 1898 and there are some stock problems that I missed. The stock has a repaired crack or two. How I missed that, I don't know. Anyway, I will post images as promised by tomorrow ( Sat ) evening.
I...
I'll have this tomorrow afternoon. I don't think it is missing the swivel. See picture. I sorta remember seeing it there. I don't see the block that a bayonet hooks on here. Can't wait to give you guys better pictures.
Again, I really do appreciate the high road converstation here going on. You guys are most helpful.
I'll have to ask about provenance, Maybe the auctioneer has some info on it or can contact the consignor and ask them what they know.
I have my own coin auction with him on Saturday. All my stuff...
Hey thanks guys. Yep you guys have as good a look at it as I do at this time but I promise, I will update with all kinds of info when I get it home and better pictures. Who knows what I got at this point so hang loose. I'll check in this weekend.
Thanks guys.
I looked up Philippine Constabulary and found it interesting that while most Krags had the upper handguard at the sight, the section of wood forward of that is not on those Philippine Constabulary rifles. I may have one of these Philippine Constabulary coming? I don't think so...
I won this and I am pretty sure it is almost complete except it lacks the wood around the ladder sight.
I am pretty sure it is a model 1898 rifle. The stock might be cleaned up but not too badly or it may be original. I don't know. I saw it briefly at a gun auction and left a bid.
I won it and...
It will randomly show up when you sign out of eBay.
Could be a Discover card ad or McDonalds then maybe this pops up. Refresh the page a few times when you sign out.
I just wanna mention that I have a .223 Handi Rifle. One of my favorite shooters but ...
If I'm not careful to smartly lock the action, it has on a few occasions opened up after firing.
In a 45-70 this may be a bigger problem.
The cases did not eject when opening after firing but I suppose they...
Sort of an update to my earlier post #13.
I cut a pc of tubing from the O2 concentrator hose and I could not get a cap to fit inside. Maybe there is a thinner walled tubing available but all the tubing I have, which is a lot, looks to be too small. We do have a store that sells this stuff off a...
Very glad you survived that horrible experience. I appreciate the story as it reminds me that I need to always be careful.
That had to be awful in so many ways. I got rid of my Raven 25.
I never have one in the chamber unless I am ready to fire when I have a autoloader.
On a couple rare...
Anyway, I did return the Gamo to my buddy. He was thrilled.
Put 5 shots in the bullseye at 10 or so yds and you could
only see 3 holes all touching each other with the 7.9 gr Crosman Premier Super point Hunting Pellets.
Something came overnight and took away the dead chippy. Wife didn't take...
I don't know where he's hit. I haven't gone out to pick it up. ( my wife does that for me anyway )
Rangefinder says it was a 12 yd shot from the man cave window.
I'm almost ROFL. :rofl:
These things are destructive. My wife kills em with a 5 gal bucket of water and some kind of plank they...
