My first krag (Read 10090 times)

	Got a carbine style bought and I need some info and parts. It doesn't have a butt plate on it. The butt hole is there as the holes for the cleaning stuff. The top hole and the inletted portion seem to be filled in. There is a small indention that appears to be where the top hole was. Just need to get the space out for the top of the plate. I need a butt plate and or need to know the size of the plate hoping that they didn't cut or sand it down to far. I will also have more questions as it goes along.

	'Socks' - Welcome to the KCA Forum and congratulations on your first Krag. Hey, watch your language! (The correct term, for the cavities under the butt-plate, is 'lightening holes'). If you post some close-up photos of the butt-plate area, sights, forearm tip, and markings, members can tell you more about your Krag.

	Butt Hole... LOL That's what my wife sometimes calls me! Does that mean I'm also a lightening hole? Looking forward to some pictures too! Oh... and by the way, Welcome to the Forum, and to the wonderful world of Krags! Careful, they are highly addictive!

	Oh Lord help me bit my tongue... This is a family oriented forum so I'm not going to say any puns about Baltimoreed's holey butt post. I will not malign the name of the almighty Krag and have it become the butt of many jokes.

	Holy Colonoscopy! 'Baltimoreed', you can just open the "butt trap cap" to access or search the cavity. There is no need to remove the butt-plate. (Suddenly, guns make me feel dirty).

	The first person to suggest getting excited while inserting his tools and lubrication in the butt is going to be sentenced to an hour of bad sermons from Culpeper!!!

	Hey "Socks", seriously, some pictures will help you get answers to some questions you haven't even thought to ask yet. I'd say something cute, but it looks like its all been said.

	Sorry 'Socks', I'll act like an adult now! Knute is correct. We'd like some pictures.

	A little minor levity for some major Krag aficionados! I'll mind my P's and Q's too! Ok... now about those pictures...

	I’ll try to behave too but life’s too short to be serious all the time. And this forum has more than it’s share of wise-acres. Must be the Krag, pull the trigger and you get a smile. Happiness is a warm Krag!

	My middle name is "Craig". I'm thinking about getting it legally changed to "Krag". 'Baltimoreed', pull my trigger finger and you'll get a smile!
