Excellent rifle Bill. My Uncle gave me one of these in the 60's... It was the first rifle I learned to deer hunt with in Michigan.

Lucky looks like if you don't leave him alone and let him get to sleep he's going to go for his piece.

Bill,

I love all the versions of the Krag. My stepfather had one of these as well as a Waffenamt Norwegian in 6.5mm. Unfortunatey the Norgie had been sporterized, but it was very accurate, expecially with handloads.
Thanks for sharing these and keep them comming.

Regards,
Johnnie

Bill,

Great looking Springfield.

That's funny, my dog is named Lucky as well. It's a very well earned name too, since she chewed up a carbine hand guard of mine about 2 months ago!! Of course it was "my fault" for leaving the vault open for her to get to it!

Nice PL PPK too!!
