I recently purchased an unmolested 1898 Krag from 1900.  According to the previous owner it sat in his gun cabinet for about 30 years, 20 years in his grandfather's cabinet before that, and who knows how many years before that in the neighbors.  (Granted that might not even get me half way back to 1900)

I got my Okie Head Space gauges in today and much to my dismay failed both No-Go and Field.  I am shocked!  All of my Mosin Nagant's passed when I tested them! But my Krag failed. 

What now?
