Title: sporter stock barrel band
Post by redbanks2 on May 23^rd, 2012 at 5:54am

I am going to try a sporter stock for my 1898. I have seen pics of some that had a band around the barrel that was in the forend wood, then seemed to be the base for the forward swivel. Are these still available aftermarket? I have read that the Krag design might need the sling mount around the barrel for added strength and not just in the wood as normal.
Thanks
