Title: OK now the fun begins, forearm repair
Post by Artemus on May 18th, 2017 at 11:54pm
I received the replacement forearm from Larry Price today and it is very close to specs! I understand a rifle stock should be 46 inches long.  Initial fit is pretty good. But some cutting will be needed. Before I start on epoxy, I need some help.  I don't have a bayonet yet to measure proper mounting distance and clearance from the muzzle to the end of the stock. If I mess this length up. a bayonet won't fit. Could some one measure their rifle from muzzle to front edge of the upper barrel band? From scaling up photos I am estimating 3.25 inches.  Also I have never seen a complete Krag rifle except pictures.  I could use some advice on making and placing a retention pin for the middle sling band.  What were these pins made of and how do they work without a spring?  Posted over on GB forums as well.  Thanks to all you experts.  Wish me luck.
