Title: Re: More Bolt Trivia

Thanks, Fred. I have been trying to be meticulously organized with this exercise. Thanks for the opportunity to learn a lot more about my Krags and work at this additional organization. I didn't know that I had as many M1892 bolts as I do. I also found a number of M1896 bolts in M1898 Krags and vice versa that has allowed me to switch things around to make some of them more correct. I don't plan on shooting some of these so I don't think I'll be altering head space to any dangerous degree since we already know Krag bolts are mostly interchangeable.

There are a few small differences with Krag bolts that I have now learned to easily see after doing these measurements. I used Poyer's book mostly to examine all of these tiny detail changes of the Krag bolt over time. I have finished the measurements with my time off with Thanksgiving. Great little project for this week. I'll be copying the measurements pages and get them to you and Chuck for review. I haven't spent much time reviewing the results myself yet. I'll wait a few days and give the info some fresh eyes.
