'chuck56': It's neat you have your Grandpa's Krag.

Your 'new' project gun should be real fun when it's done. It looks like you got a real useful stock. The cut-down rifle stocks are nice for shooting, when they have not been thinned in the forearm and wrist.

Well I'm awaiting the rifle band swivel. It should be here in a couple of days. I got everything else.

Ran a cleaning rod down the barrel because it was full of cobwebs. Literally!

Once I get the swivel I guess I'll take it out back and see if she shoots. I'll take pics tomorrow,it turned out pretty good.

I'm wondering if the firing mechanism is weak because I tried it than tried my dads old krag and that one seems to have more of a bang to it.

I was also wondering if I should "clean the barrel up abit" with just gun oil and cotton cloth?

My buddy said to use fine steel wool on it and I said no way!
