Krag Collectors Association Forum

From "Shooting and Fishing" June 30,1904. Harry Pope was a subscriber to the weekly Shooting paper that predates the NRA American Rifleman magazine. About 30 years ago while flea market shopping I came on a stack of these magazines from the early 1900 shooting era. While I was looking at t...

My small bore friends refer to the Aguila brand as "Taco Ball". Good stuff.

BR, How did I miss that shooting classic? My reprint copy arrived in today's mail. A wonderful addition to my shooting classics library. Great reading! I will dig through my old Pope collection. I think I do have the article about the Palma barrels with Popes hand written comments in the margin. If ...

Several of you referred to Karl Hanevik's excellent book on the Norwegian Krag in my inquiry about Norwegian rifle slings. Just to brag a little, I have the book in my library inscribed with a personnel autograph from Col. Hanevik. We met at various gun shows off and on years ago and did some tradin...

Thanks for the information. The sling I acquired is probably the one shown on the Imported Mauser rifle. The good condition of the leather would point to about 1960's manufacture I think. Still a neat piece even if it won't fit my Norwegian Krags. I have a Commercial FN Mauser hunting rifle built in...

I picked this sling out of a box of miscellaneous stuff at a recent event. It is defiantly a Norwegian rifle sling. Well marked. Styled like the two piece US M1907 sling. It has two of the distinctive Norwegian single brass hook but one is reversed? The width is 1 inch. Too wide for the boys carbine...
