Ron, I've been Rube Goldberging with firearms forever...just making things that would 'kind of be' historically correct but fun shooters...like this Luger. This is off subject but an example.
As my 72 year old eyes like scopes now, and I've always liked to shoot distance and use military arms this intrigued me.
Krag scoped rifles...the US Military tried a few and so did the Norwegians...the two are those. The one by itself is the one I made (donar side plate, everything can be returned to stock) and my Krag has a beautifully pristine bore. I just love making things work. An old German mount from pre WW2 that looked kind of period and a 2.5x scope mounted with my string method and shoots really well.
