Boomsticks: You know your tastes are eclectic when...

...the two items on your gun store receipt are:

1) One of MagPul's new high-tech polymer PMAGs for your AR15 and

2) A bag of new, unprimed Winchester .30-40 Krag brass for your 109-year-old Krag carbine.

    Do you know what rifle the US army used immediately prior to the Krag?

    Before the Krag? That would be the trap door Allin Conversion in .45/70 Springfield.

    The Navy experimented witht he Lee Rifle in 6mm for the Marines.

    I'm jealous. The oldest firearm I have is a 1910 Mosin-Nagant. With the Imperial Russian crests intact. I couldn't say no....I think the trapdoor Springfield is cool, but I don't ever anticipate being able to afford one.

    I am jealous of the Krag carbine, my Krag rifle is longer than a damn Moisin-Nagant! Trying to work the bolt in the rapids is a stretch, luckily my arms are just barely long enough.
