Re: Krag Ammo
Hopefully they will make roundnose 180s again. Never quite understood why they went to pointed bullets.

Re: FINALLY got a Norwegian Krag.
Not trying to restart an old debate. Read pretty thoroughly on this topic, and it really looks like shooting standard 6.5x55 through an NK is like shooting .38-44 High Velocity (basically a modest .357 Magnum in .38 Special cases)through a prewar Smith and Wesson Military and Police .38 Special or t...

Re: FINALLY got a Norwegian Krag.
The bore is very strong. I have seen a number of NKs with atrocious bores, and this one has very well defined lands with what we now call light frosting. That might just be crud that hasn't come off the steel yet, though.

Re: FINALLY got a Norwegian Krag.
Been cleaning on this Krag today and learned a few things.<br /><br />1. Norwegian Krags are as averse to grease on the bolt parts as US Krags are. A light oil like Rem Oil is much better in general, with a light coat of grease on the bolt cam.<br /><br />2. The Magazine Cutoff works opposite the on...

FINALLY got a Norwegian Krag.
<r>1915 M94. The fellow I got it from said he had had it 50 years and never fired it, and I tend to believe him. Had all sorts of grease on the bolt and in the barrel, and I am slowly but surely cleaning it out. I think this piece has never been refinished, as in normal light you can see the striati...

Re: SRS check...
Sent him an email to hold a book. $40 is a lot of money at one time, but I will have extra money later in the month.

Re: SRS check...
Fun fact: I grew up in 37918. Fountain City, TN... Wonder how much chance there is the current staff of SRS has found any more Krag numbers?

Re: Setting the sight on my new Krag
My previous post disappeared. Hm. Anyway, I call both 22" and 24" barrelled Krags "School Guns". Best I can tell, the Tennessee Military Institute used 24" barrels. Somewhere I have a pic of the cadets with Krags and there's more than 22" worth of barrel when they're at...
