Title: Re: Barrel Band for Krag Sporter

This is a late follow up to Jim's barrel band installation. I made the fit of the escutcheon a little tight and Jim had a mishap and made the recess under the stock too deep. I made him a washer from a hard engineering plastic to take up the space and get the escutcheon flush with the stock again.  The last I talked to Jim he had not installed the front sling swivel. The intended swivel was the reason for doing this band, as I could just see a jerk on the sling breaking the stock if the front portion was not tied to the barrel with a band.

I contacted Numerich about the bands and they have about 1300 on hand, but no nuts or screws. I asked about me making the nuts for them and they seemed to have no interest in them or selling a batch of the bands to me at a discount.

I am going through a busy patch at work but when it slows down I may be able to make more of the nuts and escutcheons for KCA members in the future if others want to do this.
