Hi all,

Newbie here. I recently purchased a "bubba'd" 1898 .30-40 Krag and failed to inspect properly. Got it home and realized the bolt was cracked near the lug. Presumably, due to the previous owner firing warm loads.

It seems NOS bolts are readily available. Is it simply a matter of purchasing a new bolt and sliding it in? Where do you recommend I purchase such a bolt?

I really like the rifle and want to make it a safe workhorse for hunting with factory loads.

Thanks for any help and guidance!

Paul
