Very cool .....My only historical firearm was a old 30-40 Krag Carbine who’s ownership was “shared” by my grandfather and the boxer Jack Dempsey when they were teens and worked on a ranch together in Colorado. Jack sold his share in the rifle to my grandfather for 8 dollars. I still have the rifle ....

Sadly these days its rumored all new colt SAA’s are built on italian parts, forgings and marked with Colts patents etc ...,

Cool. I like Krags, but they are about the most confusing collectible out there. You have originals, later converted and sporterized ones of various provenance. With Wild Bunch shooting at SASS, Krags can be shot at long range but have to use the orignal 220 grain lead round nose loadings. (no jacketed as I understand it)

Rainy day at the range, had a registered match, but only 6 shooters (more tomorrow if it drys out), I shot my Benelli Cordoba because of the weather.
