I am first a shooter & collector of single shots.  Long ago, (60 years?) I used a borrowed home-modified Krag as a deer rifle.  I became an instant convert, the Krag being the best hunting rifle ever made.  I have since come into a Bannerman rebarreled sporter and later, what looks to be a Benicia-altered NRA carbine.  My goal is a very nice, 100 % original 1896 rifle.
