Craig R.:  You can use the 'search' feature of this site to look at earlier posts that describe "How to remove the Krag bolt".  Also, click on "Visit the KCA Website today!", that appears periodically above, to see all kinds of history and pictures.  If you plan to hunt with your Krag, you might want to pick up a rear sling swivel and a rear barrel-band and swivel.  You can put these parts on without making any permanent alterations to your Grandfather's Krag (commonly available at gunshows, eBay, and GunBroker).  Chuck
