Actually I haven't bought the rifle yet. Just watching it on an auction site. I am pretty new and am intrigued by the new Doughboy side match, but don't handload (yet) and the only commercial Cowboy rifle ammo I can find is 30-40. The Constabulary Carbine has always intrigued me. The on on the auction site might be a fake, but if so, would prob ably fall into the "faithful reproduction" category.
Speaking of faithful reproductions: do the Krag ri=fles that were cut down to carbines by Bannermans or the DCM in the early 20th century qualify?
I know that reloading a Krag is a competitive disadvantage compared to a rifle fed by a stripper clip. I have 03s, SMLEs, 98s, even Lebels and Berthier's in my collection, but no legal ammo.
Doc sends.
