Title: Re: Head Shot!

I've been found out.  That was the 2017 Roosevelt.   The rifle was 3140.  Everything is correct expect the cocking piece.  It is not squared.  It is a M1896.  What I would give for a true 1892.  Sheesh.  I had mis-remembered what I had used for the match (I thought sn 112) but looking at the group pic I don't see the brass tipped cleaning rod.  Ah, old timers disease.

My number 112 has the 1896 mods.  Got taken to the cleaners on it by my noobie ignorance years ago and the unethical dealings by a founding member of the KCA.
