I might be wrong, but years ago someone did an article on proving the strength of a Krag bolt. He had the loads used and photo of what he did. Have you any idea who this was and how I could find the write up. Thanks much.

John42768, thank you for your input. I am just trying to make up my mind about this Carbine. I have the photos of your excellent carbines. From what little I can tell from a photo, this one isn't as strong as your 1896 but it is rated as overall fine condition. "C" stamped rear sight, 1897...

This 1896 is serial 67712 and wondering if it might be on the SRS list. Thanks very much.

And then there is always Kroil. I found this to be far better than any commercial liquid wrench. And a master gunsmith I know uses that 50/50 solution posted by Rod.

Again I thank all you gentlemen with the Carbine information.<br />I see now the price of that carbine is going up. If that "gunshop" ends up with it, bet they call it an original carbine. Personally I make it as a very nice 30-40 Krag, but not something I would pay beyond what it is now b...

Now I am leery. The rear sight is a 1902 type 3 with the auxillary peep. It does contain a "C" but on the right side, not the left. And the top graduation goes to 20. Does that indicate carbine or rifle? Charlie

Thank you again gentlemen. I also get a refinished feeling and that barrel band looks awfully "newish". Charlie

Butlersrangers and John42768. John, I have kept your photos of those great carbines. Maybe both of you would take a look at the Carbine and give me an opinion. It is on Gunbroker item 297758058. thank you---Charlie

There is a Carbine on a web sight that is an 1898. By the serial number it dates Sept-1898. However, it has a 1902 sight. Could that be correct?

I'm slightly interested and it goes off tomorrow, but if you will, check the 1899 Carbine on Gunbroker #292619045 and tell me what you think the top dollar value might be. Looks refinished. I am concerned about the marks on the barrel/
