The M89 Danish Krag came today, and it is quite impressive. LONG rifle at a little over 52 inches. Didn't have much time to do anything tonight save a first cleaning of the bore: bore foam/patches/brass brush with CLP/patches with CLP and the bore snake. The patch pushing out the foam was jet black. What I thought was a fair bore turned out to be good overall; ending patches were medium/light gray. A run of electrolysis should help, but very nice for an original 1892 barrel - decent rifling and no real pitting I could see. Crummy bore pick, but it gives an idea.
Couple of quick pics now; hope to fix the duffel cut in the near future. Have a line of a M1915 web sling from Denmark - will know Monday. Now to find just a couple of rounds to try it before I invest in the reloading equipment.
