I am the proud new custodian of an 1898 Krag I just received from the CMP. It is in what I consider to be very good condition for a rfile that is about 110 yrs old. She'll be cleaned, maintained, and shot on a regular basis, then someday, be passed along to one of my 3 sons for further enjoyment.

But right now, I need to learn about the Krag. Can anyone point me to a reference book or website where I can learn to properly detail strip a Krag? I just don't want to make a rookie mistake and bugger something up.

Thanks!

Steve
