Thanks, Butler,

I'll take some photos and post. I actually did post some when I first started down the Krag road back in 2015. My pics are still on the sporterized page. I just looked them up.

Two years ago I took my first deer with it, on the 75th anniversary of when my dad took a deer on the family farm in Oregon during Christmas leave from the Army. He'd just bought the gun at a pawn shop in Waco, TX. I have a pic of him standing with the deer, Krag by his side.

I've got some Hornaday 220 gr. RN, and a bunch of different powders, so I won't be casting my own.  I'll chase up some Hornaday brass and see if I can load some rounds that shoot as well as the factory loads I have.

I would like to learn to use the elevation adjustment on the peep. Last time I tried, I sent one over the berm at 500 yds and I don't want to repeat that experience.  :o

One nice thing about the serial number and manufacture date is it isn't classified as a firearm.  8-)
