Re: Two Krag1898 Rifles Restoration Complete
Unfortunately, the 'icloud' photos will disappear, in a month or so, and your post will lose its context and usefulness.
I like the wood on your rifle with the m-1898 (Dickson) three-notch rear sight. Is this wood a European or possibly a Claro walnut?

Re: SRS Request
"Texxut' - Your rifle looks very correct to me. The original 'case' finish of the Krag receiver, side-plate, and magazine-gate, will often wear to a 'silvery' appearance. The muzzle area of your barrel has the finish-wear, imparted by the wood 'cradles', built into the Ordnance Department shipp...

Re: SRS Request
'Texxut' - Welcome to the KCA Forum! You have a nice looking model 1898 Krag rifle. There is no listing for serial number 374869 in the SRS Data. Only around 4% of the U.S. Krag serial numbers were actually found by researchers digging through old government documents. Your rifle, 374869, was assemb...

Re: Newbie here. Identity old firearm looking for parts too
In 1902, Springfield Armory built 100 'experimental/trial' Krag rifles with 26 inch barrels. These were called Board of Ordnance & Fortifications Rifles and were tested at Fort Drum, N.Y. The intent was to have a compromise ('combined services') Krag, that eliminated the need to have both a carb...

Re: An interesting stock 'marker'
I browsed through 600-plus pages of the 1902-03 Adjutant-General's Report for the Pennsylvania N.G. These reports are pretty much like watching paint dry, but there were some interesting tidbits. In 1902 the N.G.P. had a large encampment at Gettysburg. The N.G.P. had just gotten word in April 1902, ...
