Thread: Lee Enfields and the 30-40 Krag.

I did eventually finish my dream 30-40 Krag rifle build but forgot to drop it in to this thread.

Winchester 1885 High Wall action circa 1890
Musket butt stock
Factory custom fore end
New Vulcan 1:10" 30 cal barrel. Parralel octagonal to tapered round.
I started with a Leupold M8 3x but the rifle proved very accurate and I ended up putting a VX3i 1.5-5 CD ZL scope on it because it will be a 400m capable classic rifle



I still have the mint bore Parker Hale 30-40 rifle too sell it anyone want a really nice practical classic bolt action Krag too shoot.
Brass is easy to make from 303

Deer lord, give me the strength to avoid these temptations.

That's a nice build @akaroa1. I always look forward to your project photos.

And so my credit card trembles. ��

But the PH 30-40 and it would hardly hurt the credit card at all

Better yet trade me a decent action for it

LOL ...... I could have. Just finished a 25/303 refurbishment.

Archie Moore had a 30/40 krag built by Din Collins ages ago. If memory recalls he had very good result in some obscure range event.
