Krag Collectors Association Forum

Personally know next to nothing about the ins and outs of Krag rifles. Do know, very much like the looks of your Krag rifle. Restoration will be an educational experience. Read. Learn and proceed as you are able to find the needed parts. Do not hurry. For my part, bought a 1898 rifle a few years ag...

Replica Krag forearms are available from Numrich Arms and Prestigious Woods sells one on eBay. Parts like swivels and front barrel-bands are sold on eBay and Grampa's Gun Parts (KCA Classifieds). Good handguards are the tough & expensive item to get, now. Use the KCA 'search tab' and review thr...

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to respond and to provide me with the details for restoring this forearm. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

From everything posted here, it appears this rifle has the 2,000 yard rear sight, but the frosted barrel is a big negative for me.<br /><br />Yall saved me $695. Ill keep looking. Than...

Thanks for responding so quickly. I do know that the rear sight goes out to 2000 yards (20 marked on the leaf). I did not see a C marking on the sight which I know would make it more valuable.<br /><br />Not sure what I should be looking for on the handguard, so any help there would be appreciated. ...

I was out hitting some pawnshops today and came across an 1898 Krag rifle. It has a nice 1901 cartouche and a P proof mark behind the trigger guard. The barrel is frosted, but the bluing is decent.<br /><br />I dont have a Krag in my collection but think that this might be a nice addition. Im not lo...
