Yes the gun shop i bought it from checked it out, i have not shot it as of yet wanted to make sure of a good safe recipe for here. I do plan on hunting with this , i have many old rifles mainly mausers this is my first krag.  I very good friend of mine bought a norwegian krag at the same shop and when i seen this i had to have one. Mine is  a springfield not the norwegian but i will find one of them also. I tried to post pics but its not working. The powder i have in stock are imr 3031,4064,4320 and hodgdon h 380, most are listed for the krag just wanted to make sure this is not too fast of powder for the old rifles. The barrel is still 24".



Thanks Nick
