No the old spring gave zero tension. But all is good now. I have twenty 30-40 rounds and I'll probably go next and shoot it for the first time.

Took it apart and found the spring snapped in half. So now to put in the new one.

Well my Ammo doesn't feed and there is no tension on the piece that pushes the rounds in and up so the bolt can grab the round. So I figured the spring is either missing or broken.

Well, I was able to find and purchase a box of Krag Ammo. I got it today and went to load it on my Krag only to find out the magazine tray loader doesn't work. So I started researching. I learned about the cutoff switch and made sure it was in the up position. Still a no go. Took the rifle apart and...

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Do you have to take out the pin for the front sight blade to get the upper band onto the barrel of an 1898 Krag?

Where do you guys buy your Krag ammo?

I'm looking to purchase a butt plate for my 1898 Springfield Krag.

Thanks for the info. Restoring it is just a hobby for me. So I'm taking my time.

Barrel length is 30 inches.
