I have posted elsewhere about my Great Grandfather who served in the Filipino Insurrection and Boxer Rebellion. When I purchased an 1892/1896 Krag from an uncle I was told about an 1895 Winchester that my great grandfather had. My uncle had sold/traded it with a friend and the rifle left the family. I guess I showed some disappointment that this rifle existed and was no longer in the family. My uncle later got back to me and said that he could buy the rifle back from his friend for what he sold it to him for, $575. Since I had just bought the Krag, I set it up for my brother to get it. Glad he did. Below is a picture of the rifle, built in 1899. The caliber is........30-40, just like great grandad had used in the military. My great grandad had used it for deer hunting, then my grandad had it, then my uncle.  Glad to have it back in the family. The sights were changed and a buttpad put on. My brother got the original buttplate that had been removed. It is in good condition.
