I don't consider "parts mismatch" the issue or point of danger.
I am apprehensive about making a recommendation about firing these Bannerman 'salvage Krags'. The guys that cobbled them together certainly were not going out on a limb in 1914. They were not guaranteeing them! The Bannerman catalog page description is kind of scary with vague mention of "fire damaged parts" and re-tempering. Maybe the quality of parts improved, on later Bannerman Krags that used altered 1903 Springfield stocks. I'm not a 'shrinking violet', but, some guns are 'too iffy' to risk my life, limb, and 'movie star looks'. I would want an "experienced hand" examining this one, directly. |
