Re: New to Krags

Here are a few more of the sight and muzzle crown. If you need anything better please let me know. Since I was told about cropping the photos I can post them easily enough now!

Re: New to Krags

Nice, thanks! I don't plan on putting a scope on mine. I'll find a rear sight to put on and use it as a plinking gun and a brush gun for hunting. It will be a fun shooter. Atleast now I have a much better idea of what I got and which direction I'll take with it. I've always wanted a Krag for the &qu...

Re: New to Krags

Butlersrangers....
Thank you very much for the info!
For my first Krag I'm happy with it! I'll make it a shooter and have fun with it.
Thanks everybody for the help. I'll keep you posted on how it shoots once I get a rear sight and some ammo.

Re: New to Krags

Belive it or not, that "thing in the end of the muzzl" is from the flash of the camera. I cleaned and cleaned the barrel. Lol I'm still trying to decide which direction to go. When I bidded on the rifle the auctioneer said the barrel was drilled and tapped for a scope. I looked at it and r...

I put a cleaning rod down the barrel with the bolt closed, it came out to 22 inches long.
Anymore help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: New to Krags

All right gentlemen, I'll get those pics later tonight whenever I get back home, it'll be after 9 pm eastern time. I'll also get a better measurement of the barrel length. I appreciate all the help.

New to Krags

I got this Krag at an auction about a month ago. The serial number range doesn't make sense to me for an 1896, but that is what it is stamped as. The barrel is about 21 1/2 inched long. The stock has been sporterized and the rear sight is missing. The bore cleaned up beautifully and the action is bu...
