'CoRifleman' - Welcome to the KCA Forum.
It would be a pity to shorten a full length Krag barrel, especially, when it is attached to a model 1896 receiver. It is a 'crime' to put new holes in the receiver of a Krag worthy of restoration. A lot of model 1896 receivers are deeply stamped and "1896" is easily misread as "1898". There are a lot of part differences between the two models, which tips off more experienced eyes. IMHO - "Whig's" proposed trade makes a lot of sense and would be a mutually beneficial - "Win Win". |
