Re: That other rifle in 30-40 Krag
Thanks Charles: This one came equiped with a lyman ladder sight. It was close to dead on with my reloads at the low setting.

That other rifle in 30-40 Krag
Along with the regular Krag rifles, carbines and the remington lee rifle, a lot of 1895 winchesters in 30-40 Krag were made. These can still be found at shops and shows. I had mine out today and it was a lot of fun to shoot. 170gr. powder coated cast bullets with a charge of 2400 powder proved prett...

Re: Parkhurst carbine
Would it be possible to alter a 762x54 moisin nagant stripper clip to use the 30-40 round? The difference between the two cartridge's rim diameter is 0.025. For display or to see how it functions. It would be a bit cheaper.

Re: Any Recent Experience With Criterion Krag Rifle and Carbine Barrels?
I do not know about the Krag barrel, but i had a criterion M-1 garand barrel put on a M-1. My gunsmith said it was a correct fit and i think it shoots great. i would guess that the Krag barrel might have a different thread pitch for the rear sight.

Re: 50 round belt
The wire "hanger" is not wide enough for a trapdoor bayonet scabbard. Maybe its for a Krag bayonet, sword or as Mr. Hosmer said a cartridge box?

Re: 45 round belt
20240319_144727.gif The belt seems to fit a 30-40 round better than a 45-70. The loops are not sewn on but woven together with the belt. It is definetly black with no trace of blue or purple. It has 45 loops. Just a guess but maybe used for funerals? I cannot find much info with a google search. An...

50 round belt
I picked up a 50 round belt i believe for the 45-70 cartridge. It holds a 30-40 round ok. I will have to dig out a 45-70 round to see if it fits. It has a mills and orndorf 1894 patent date on it. I have seen these in khaki and blue but this one is black. Has any of the forum members seen one like t...

Re: Cast bullets in the Krag
I bought a N.O.E. mold that casts a 220gr. bullet based on the lyman mold made for the Krag rifle. I have not found a good load for it yet. I did load a bunch of 175gr. and 135gr. cast pills for the Krag. I will head to the range and see how my 1898 rifle likes them (hopefully better than the 220gr....
