Title: Re: My cut down long rifle turned School Rifle project

Thank you. Yes, I had read that about the M1905 Bayonet attachment. I haven't decided on a sling for this rifle. it is a 1903 production. I supposed just about any sling from the 1887 to the Kerr would be good. I am quite partial to the Kerr. I like how it can be tighened up real good.

Looks nice for your intentions. Hope it shoots as good as it looks. Put a nice sling on it and it will be even more correct!

That's great that you have an official carbine rear sight for this school rifle.

Also, the school rifles, copies of the official Philippine Constabulary rifles, were made to use the 1903 Springfield bayonets on them which have a slightly different attachment to them that requires a slight angulation of the front of the bayonet lug. So few people really know this, outside of this forum, that what you have is fine.

Good job to the Krag artist who did your work. Thanks for sharing!
