Re: Board protocol

Sorry about the posting...did not see the instructions mixed in with listings. <br /><br />Dick, thanks for the information, but I am confused. I know little about Krags, but everything I could find says that if it does not have a model number before the 1895 it's a transition rifle. What do I have ...

Re: Krag grading

As stated in beginning of post, I know very little about Krag carbines. I have no idea what you are saying. Perhaps you are speaking over my head. I just want to sell the carbine to someone at a fair price who will appreciate its history and enjoy it. Dick seems very knowledgeable and from what he s...

Re: Krag grading

Actually, I appreciated Dick's input and changed the listing to a "carbine" and lowered the price per his suggestion. I researched and found one that sold on GunBroker on February 22, 2009 in "fine" condition for $2,750 and I believe mine is actually in better condition than the ...

Re: Krag grading

Thanks for all the information. I am going to be selling it, but it appears the classified section is not used often on this site. Is there a site for antique gun sales that you could recommend?

Re: Krag grading

Thanks for you feedback. The bore and barrel has some wear but overall in good shape. Please clarify are the sights correct? They appear original and I have never fired it.
