That is sacrilege. Who would deface a piece of history like that?

There are so many images on this stock, every time I hold it, I find one I didn't see before. But you get the idea.

A few bits of info. The 30/40 krag was the first US. Weapon adopted by the military to use smoke less powder, a big advantage over black powder, not giving away your position, with a big belch of smoke when you fire your weapon. The cartridge replaced the 45/70 government as the cartridge of choice for military use.
My rifle above was made over 100 yrs ago 1898
It was a short lived military weapon, because it couldn't be
Reloaded with chargers / stripper clips.
So it was replaced with the 1903 Springfield 30.06

Nice piece of history you have there. Are you able to find ammo for it easily enough?

[Biglever]

Ammo is no problem, you won't find it in wally world,
But gun shops carry it. And reloading supplies are easy to come by.
