How's the bore? I've been wanting one for decades and every one I ever picked up had a sewer pipe bore, so much so that I quit looking long ago.
Don't the safety lugs bear against the receiver too on these, making them in effect two lug bolts versus the U.S. Krag whose safety lug doesn't make contact?
Same boat I'm in, the one I have has a sewer pipe bore but was reputed to shoot well. haven't tried yet, planning on rebarelling.
To the OP, these are technically a two lug actions, the bolt handle serves as the second. Still, not "strong" by modern standards and best to use loads reserved for the 1896 Mauser and the like.
