Hi all!
I'm the one that posted the neat old articles that Butler's Rangers has been posting here.

Thought I'd finally make a post to say hello.
As an interesting tie-in, here's a Krag sporter I recently puchased from Gunbroker that exhibits a lot of the techniques discussed in those articles.

Some say that a Krag sporter is worth the sum of its parts..if that's true, I stole this one!

I've done a bit of searching but can't find a factory sporter that looks quite like this one.  There are no names on it anywhere.  I'd be interested if anyone had thoughts on that.

Oh, and the trigger pull is a lovely 3 pounds even.
