Not a real carbine, but I like it
I saw this cut-down on one of the many auction sites a few months ago, and... well... it just "spoke" to me. An exchange of funds ensued, and soon the good ol' U.S.P.S. notified me that my new toy was ready for me to pick up. The serial indicates a birthday sometime in 1898, with the info ...

Re: The DCM, the NRA, and the Krag Carbine
The tough part, about the 'so called' Krag DCM/NRA carbine, is that even I can make a 'replica'. I suppose being shipped from Benicia Arsenal does not guarantee that all of them were fabricated at Benicia? "I suppose being shipped from Benicia Arsenal does not guarantee that all of them were f...

Re: "Type 7" Handguard For 1901 Rifle Sight?
Thanks Dick Hosmer for clearing that up for me. Perhaps I am misunderstanding Stretch32's post regarding the sight mounting holes in the barrel. If I'm understanding correctly now, perhaps what was meant is that the handguard in question will not allow a Model 1898 or Model 1902 rear sight to be mou...

Re: "Type 7" Handguard For 1901 Rifle Sight?
"The sight mounting screw holes on the barrel don’t even remotely line up with the ‘98 / ‘02 sight."
I was under the impression that the screw holes in the barrel were in the same location, regardless of sight model. Is this not correct?

Re: The DCM, the NRA, and the Krag Carbine
butlersrangers, Thank you for the images of the paperwork, it is greatly appreciated. The DCM-NRA Carbines have become something of an obsession for me. I don't have one, but find their elusive nature fascinating. So little is known about them, and evidently at least part of the "conventional w...

The DCM, the NRA, and the Krag Carbine
In the book "The Krag Rifle" by Lt. Col. Brophy, the year 1926 is given as the year Benicia Arsenal began altering Krag rifles, by cutting the barrels to 22 inches and fitting M1903 front sights, to create what has come to be known variously as the D.C.M., or N.R.A., or Benicia carbine, an...
