So a NG unit as in National Guard? Which would explain the butt plate numbers... I think it was suggested or I crossed it somewhere. Thus confirming with out a doubt Grand Pa was a Story teller. :) Either way it was fun, and I still have not got it out to the range yet :(.

That is nice to know that repro. is available. I was gonna try to find a broken butt stock original, or whatever. For me the most of the value is in family history. And good call on Hogan's I had to Netflix it.

I don't think it was issued. I think Grand pa bought it over there and carried it around for a bit; then sent it back. I just don't know if that was allowed, or possible. If not then It would become an all out stateside purchase. Which is the most likely anyway. But I feel she is a fine...

The good Sarge would have flipped nuts. For sure. The second thought of the rifle, what I feel is more likely, is could have this been purchased by a soldier in Korea during the Korea Conflict? I know there where stores of these rifles around due to the boxer and Philippians Rebellions...

It's not that I'm on the Hornady Critical Defense band wagon per-say. They just were on sale. I have a hard time passing a buy one get one 1/2 off ammo sale.

So I dropped a Mag today, and it became a Jam Factory...:( So I called the factory And they said just send it back and they will send a new one. Sweet.

Cant Fix off a bit when I need to be extra quick that is true. I can't exactly ask my attacker to wait while I aim...Have you ever tried that? :) So back to Hp v ball... What works in this small of a cal? Is there benefits to just wounding and would that work better?

Thank you Jim. Yes, I am well that for this to be his issued rifle it would have to stolen. This is a BIG part of the oral history of the firearm. Along with my Great grand pa almost being discharged for altering his firearm (your guess is good as mine). Thus, my quest started because I am...

Ok, I don't think there is too much more information I can get from the rifle. I just hope mom didn't lose the Company or Regiment photo. I think that is my next digging point, I just hope the 598 Number on the butt plate and his company/regiment no. are the same. It would make things...

I guess it wasn't lethality that I want... I Just want to know what exactly the rounds gonna do. every time, just for comfort.

Thank you but I had scoured the KCA and it isn't too much substance available with out paying them. Basically it just showed me that I have 1896 2200 fts calibrated sights. FPA 1900 Is the makers mark for sure. So according to SN and stamps match 1900 fiscal year...

Thank you, but could you please explain the Garrison Mark. I would like to know what marks in the stock mean, However the pics failed to load again... (Idk a different way to load them maybe?) The first one is FPA (I think) 1900, and the second is a P in a circle The last pic didn't...

More pics later I'm getting an error... Oh, and Gander Mt. got back to me they can special order ammo in... it sounds $$

Tyvm, Here are some pics of rifle, If you know what any of the marks mean it would be nice, if not np. again ty for the info.

TY all

From what I know It has been in my family since Mil Issue, I have a grainy american military pick of a relative holding it. And another of the whole CO on a hill with palms behind them. No pic dates that I can remember off hand, been years since I have seen the pic... Still have it though...

I inherited a Springfield Armory 1898 30-40 Krag. with metal in a very good condition and a cut down stock. Actually it looks ready to fire, If I could find ammo. Does anybody know about the rarity of this firearm, ammo arability, ect...

Yeah when I was testing, I was using semi-jacketed wad cutters. I was going to use them for hunting deer because I was worried of HP fragmentation in the meat... I just had to switch to the hp at the last min availability thing. Bullets on Back order don't kill deer. I'm still tiring to rap...

4095ts. and matching 40 JCP. Best shot (Ts) is a Doe 80 yards out through heavy brush. However I broke my firing pin once, at round 1000 something w/o cleaning ( I know;the point was to stress it). I had the part and back in action in less than 4 days. I truly think High Point is an under...
