Ok, thanks for the advice, it's still a neat rifle. I'm glad I got this instead of a U.S. one because it seems the 6.5 is cheaper and easier to find than .30-40.

Also, everything matches the action, but the bolt, but the two numbered areas on the bolt do match each other.

My stock looks as if it hasn't been trimmed down in the front. Is it possible that they switched out an American cavalry stock at some point? Also, how difficult would it be to restore to original condition (parts-wise)? Would it be worth it, since I only paid $250 at auction for it?

It is from 1916. Sorry, I thought I uploaded one with the year, must have forgot.

<r>Hi, I recently purchased this at an auction. I know it is missing the rear sight, the front handguard, the rear sling swivel, the front band, and has a hand made peep sight added. It is how I got it. Any help with locating parts, identifying model, etc. would be much appreciated. Pictures include...

Thanks, and sorry for repost.

Hi all, I recently purchased a Norwegian carbine and just wanted to make sure on my ammo choice. I know that they were chambered for 6.5 Swede, but since I'm new to Krags, is any factory load of 6.5 ok? I've heard that the Krag action isn't the strongest, so thought I would ask.
