Re: Just a few more pics of the 1896 100000
Thanks guys for the nice comments. I have stacks of brass from days past and have other rifles in 30-40 such as a Martini-Henry, a nice Model 99 that is as nice as this one, a beautiful 95 Win made in 1897 and a few others.

Just a few more pics of the 1896 100000
I hope these post OK. I think it's a very nice Krag. I wish I had kept some of the others from years ago. At one time I had about 10 US, Danish 8X58s and one nice Norwegian. I have several 8X58RD's in Swede RB's also.

The wood I wipe down with Howards, let dry out a day or so. I'm in southern New Mexico and except for current monsoon humidity of 25 to 30% it ...

Re: Model 1896
Thanks very much for the very important and valuable info. I knew it had been issued, however it is in great condition except the P cartouche is barely visible and only a few very faint marks of the inspectors stamp is visible. The wood is otherwise beautiful and I am puzzled as it looks like the In...

Model 1896
I haven't been on this forum for at least 15 years but just wanted to log in the MODEL 1896 I have just received. I have had many nice Krags in my collection over the last 30 years or so but have just a few left. One is a nice 1899 Carbine with a 1902 Rear sight and A beautiful Danish Krag in 8X58R....
