Right about when the movie "The Rough Riders" came out I finally found a Krag that I could live with. And I have squinted down the bore of many Krags. Found this one in a little hole in the wall gun show just as I was getting ready to go home.

Asked if I could check it out and dealer said ok. Took the bolt out and it had the best bore I've seen in years. How much?? $180 I'll take it, Darn near broke my wrist getting the wallet out and counting out the money.

Shot great with Remington Core Lokt 180 grain round nosed bullets.That was over 30 years ago. Someone chopped the barrel to 25" and put a ramp sporting type front sight, and left the military sight which is both adjustable for windage and elevation. Cartouche on the side of the stock is stamped 1903 so that makes the old girl 118 years young. Frank
