I just parted with my krag, the rifling was warm, but if you shot cast bullets in it 200 or 220 grain it was bad.
It wouldn't put two out of 5 bullets in a 4×8 sheet of plywood with Remington 180 'at 20 yards.

You can send them back to the DCM. And have new barrels put on same as any Springfield M1 .M1A.

The other day I walked into a small Local Gun Shop that reminded me of the Gun shops of the past. It is a small shop that has been there in this strip mall for several decades. The present owner has been there about 15 years and I knew and did business with the previous owner for several years before he retired. When I walked in there were 2 customers sitting and talking with the owner about politics and the probable problems with the current administration. Along the wall there were a lot of long guns but nothing that I felt I could not live without. The glass pistol cases in front of the long guns held a number semi auto pistols but again nothing I could not live without. There were only 3 revolvers but 1 was a S&W pre model 10 2" with the wrong grips that was very interesting except for the $699 price tag was a bit high. There was a big box of used holsters but I did not see anything that was super interesting. I saw a box of 240 Weatherby Ammo that I would have liked but the owner thought it was more valuable than I did. While I was there there were a number of customers came in looking for 9mm or 40 S&W shooting ammo but he only had duty ammo. He sold several boxes of the 9mm H P and 40 S&W HP. One young man came asking for 32 Winchester Special ammo for an old Winchester 94 that he had bought else where and the owner came up with 2 boxes which he bought. Other than the crazy 2021 prices it was like an old time Gun Shop of days gone by.

Not to many shops around like that anymore.
I think they price stuff out of reach, so they have something to display, otherwise it would be sold out.
And he can't get anything to restock
