A couple of years back, a KCA Member had a Krag that came from a 'VFW' Post. When he fired a .30-40 cartridge in it, he discovered the chamber had been altered for a 'Blank' or Something. (Photo of Cartridge Case attached)!

An experienced eye, familiar with U.S. Krags, would probably spot such a chamber alteration. Look for crude machining or Drill 'chatter marks'.
