'gtbee80' - It would be a good thing to have a chamber cast made on this Krag!
That does not appear to be a Krag barrel and there is an odd step machined into the rear face of the barrel.
It looks like the chamber can accept a thicker rim than the .30-40.
Since the .30-40 cartridge case head-spaces on the cartridge rim, this 'step' may introduce excessive head-space.
(Note step pointed out by 'arrow').
