Re: New Krag Owner, looking for info

Here's one on eBay that will work for $50. I'll give you a longer screw needed for the side-plate. The micrometer version is a pain on the Krag. You have to remove the elevation-slide to remove the rifle Bolt. I prefer this version. That would be awesome! I sent an offer of $40 and he accepted. So ...

Re: New Krag Owner, looking for info

There are different blade heights available for the 1903 sight-base. These items are not rare. Blades can be filed to have shots register closer to point of aim. Shooting your Krag is the best test to get things regulated to your liking. There is not really a problem with having your rear-sight set...

Re: New Krag Owner, looking for info

The common wisdom here is a nice modified sporter that would hard to convert back to original is worth $300.00. It has been the answer for many years. Seems like inflation would cause that number to go up after all this time. So maybe $301.00? If you plan on keeping it and not selling it, it really...

Re: New Krag Owner, looking for info

Tyia Brugmanncues, welcome to the KCA Forum. That is a good set of pictures you provided to identify your newly acquired Krag. As 'FredC' mentioned, everything about your Krag indicates it is a cut-down U.S. Model 1898 infantry rifle. Krag rifle, #215XXX, would have been assembled at Springfield Ar...

Re: New Krag Owner, looking for info

It looks like a nicely done sporter to me. The stock looks refinished to me. The front sight has been added to a shortened barrel. The crown has been nicely done. Your rear sight appears to be a rifle sight which means the long range calibration will be incorrect but could work very well for 100 ya...

New Krag Owner, looking for info

I just picked up my 1st 30-40. model 1898 with serial of 215xxx. I'm assuming it was sporterized, but here are some pics to tell the tale. Not sure exactly what I have, and looking for info. Any help would be welcomed, TYIA.
