Title: Re: Deciding between two Krags

Marcus99:  I don't know what 60% bore means.  Both of these candidates appear to have serious rust damage to their bores.  They both have rust damage and pitting on the external surfaces.  I think a Rifle is what you most want.  But, that pictured Fla. rifle probably has some deep pits under those 'crusted' areas.  It has been my practice to always buy rifles with really good bores.  Dark and pitted bores never clean up.  Even if they shoot well, you waste time and supplies trying to get them clean.  My advice is to wait, get some books, save money and keep shopping.  Decide what you really want.  (Of the two, I'd lean toward the Carbine.  But this is because I like Carbine length Krags and the one you are looking at appears to have a nice stock.  If that one were mine, I'd consider a refinish of the metal...Gasp!).
