Re: Krag RIA Ammo Leather Case

This is a great accoutrement to have with your Springfield Trap Door and Krag rifles. These McKeever cartridge boxes were made originally for the 45/70 cartridges for the Trap Doors and used for the .30-40 Krag ammunition.

Re: Thinking about selling my 1903 dated Krag rifle, bayonet, leather sling

If it is as nice as it looks with no hidden problems, I'd say $1300-1400 would be a nice fair price for this Krag set. You could price it at $1500 and consider offers. How much do you have in it all? Good luck.

With a little color manipulation, it could also be #29 on the tape.

Heck, I like the crackled patina and wouldn't dare change it. That's history there! This isn't a beauty contest.

Re: My 2nd Krag - May 1903 Rifle in 1900 Stock

Nice Krag at a good price.

You must be joking to think that your Krag collection is "complete". Ha! They are addicting. Ask many of us!

Re: Krag DCM sales document

That's neat. It would be nicer if the serial number was on it and maybe the documentation could eventually be rejoined with the rifle. Same thing Butlersrangers found.

Re: Hand Guard for Model 1899 Carbibe

Hope it works out for you at a good price. Hopefully, it is not cracked. Cracked ones can be fixed but it can be touchy.

Re: School Rifles with JFC Stock Cartouche

It has been determined that official, real, Philippine Constabulary rifles from Manila are not stampe...
