Wow! Amazing! I hope he gets a deer with it this year!
I would imagine it's simler[sp] to me always calling my Winchester M 70 30-06 "my O six"Thats an awesome story. I love old gun stories. I have one in my safe that has a good story too.
Just curious only because I am interested in colloquialisms. Who refers to it as a Krag? Does your father refer to that gun as a Krag or as a Winchester?
Barrel clearly marked nickel steel. I've seen lots of examples of firearms from that period, and nickeling was pretty common.
