Title: Re: Replacing the receiver of a sporterized U.S. Krag

It should be fairly simple, provided the barrel isn't larger at the receiver ring than a standard barrel.  I use an old pipe vise with thick aluminum shims over the barrel to prevent marring.  Then a wrench that tightens over the receiver, again with aluminum shims.  A barrel with a diameter larger than the original has to be seated to the receiver, and the face of US receivers are often not square.
