I have communicated with 'FredC', in a couple of emails in the last 24 hours.

I have not experienced an 'accidental discharge', or unexpected firing-pin mechanism release, with a Krag.

BTW - All the Krags I have owned or tinkered with were in original (or the remains of) military Stocks.

FWIW - I suspect the 'wood-inletting', of Fred's Aftermarket-Stock, may be interfering with the free movement of his trigger-sear mechanism. (This might be influenced by variations in humidity causing wood-swelling and changes).

The front, rear, and side area of the trigger/sear mechanism AND THE Trigger-PIN, that holds them together, must be free of wood interference.

At Springfield Armory, the Trigger-Sear Pin, was tapered and 'Upset' in place, so it could not move side-ways.

I appreciate 'FredC' making this malfunction known on the KCA. I am very glad no one was injured.

I wait with great interest to see what he and others conclude.
