Re: School Rifles with JFC Stock Cartouche
If I remember correctly, there may have once been an intention to provide the Philippine Constabulary with 1903 Springfield bayonets, but, they opted to use the standard Krag bayonet.

Local Cemetery
My wife and I went to a 'library talk' today, that was a virtual tour of an old local cemetery. Since it is on a small peninsula, we had seen it from a distance, across a lake, but had never driven through it. On the drive home, I detoured off our normal route and we did a quick driving tour. The U....

Re: School Rifles with JFC Stock Cartouche
Dick Hosmer brings up a very interesting point, concerning some Krag short rifles having a bevel on the bayonet-lug to accept the 1903 Springfield bayonet. Other 'short' Krags lack a bevel on the bayonet-lug. Attached are photos of a Philippine Constabulary Sergeant, A Girard College cadet, and a No...

Re: What to do now?
A barrel for a Norwegian Krag would likely be a custom proposition. Norwegian Krag barrels use a left-hand thread.

Re: Formal attire
IMO - Too many flamingos and not enough Krags! It will never work as an ugly Christmas sweater!

Re: Grandpa's Krag
With a family heirloom, like yours, I recommend using and shooting it, as altered by your grandfather and Dad. If you want to 'dress up' your Krag a bit, a replacement side-plate costs about $20. The forearm tip could be simply plugged or added to and reshaped. The front sight-base 'dovetail' could ...

Re: Grandpa's Krag
'Sturgeon', welcome to the KCA Forum. It is very cool that you have inherited your Grandfather's Krag! As you have surmised, it has been altered from its original U.S. Military configuration. Likely, this was done to make the rifle more handy for 'hunting'. Your model 1898 Krag, serial number 139104...
