Title: .405 Winchester 1898 Custom
Post by JdA on Dec 26^th, 2009 at 5:33pm

About seven years ago my dad and I rebuilt a 1898 carbine into a .405 winchester rifle. The rim diameter of the .405 and 30-40 match very closely so it's a simple matter of rebarreling the action. Just a neat idea for anyone who happens by a Krag with a ruined bore.
