I will stick with my statement that Krags have strong actions but weak bolts (due to their single lug). I do not (and did not) suggest that someone try loading and using 308Win pressure level reloads. The factory Remington loads for example are quite potent and perfectly safe with any Krag in good condition. If I owned a long barreled rifle, I would probably not shoot a lot of them (frequently). Also, regarding heat treatment at Springfield Armory, it is not ALL low serial number 1903s that had insufficient heat treatment, just SOME of the early serial numbers and I believe they've identified a particular time period, method and person/s at fault. I've never read that there is any record or account of Krag actions coming apart upon firing like those early 1903s that failed.
