Re: DORLEAC Krag Sporter

That is truly a magnificent rifle!!

A technical question:

Did you lap the guide rib in to bear or leave as original?

The Norwegian Krag guide ribs serve as a second locking lug & I think the Danish Krags do, too. Not sure about the Danish rifles but I think so. During US development there was discussion/debate/argument about using the guide ribe as a locking lug with it being determined that was a problem for some reason that escapes me and the decision was made to leave a gap so it served as a safety lug only. I've read of some custom builders here in the US lapping in the front lug to allow the GR to bear as a second locking lug. I think maybe Sedgley did? Not sure.

Again...that is truly a beautiful rifle.
