What a great heirloom!!!! Thanks for sharing!! Ive got 3 sporter type Krags and 2 1895’s. When I was employed at the LGS i could cherry pick Krags that came in the shop. If they had good bores they usually went home with me. Down to 3 keepers. The one I used yesterday has a Redfield #70 “no drill” aperture sight on it.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
