On the Krag, what is the significance of the 22 inch bbl length? Or the 30 inch bbl? Is there something special about either length and the .30-40 military round? Or was it just an arbitrarily chosen length? Other than sight radius would cutting an already cut bbl to 19-20 inches hurt anything? I'm ...

My Kraghaus mount came yesterday so I started trying to get it on my carbine today. It's was a tad long butting up against the action enough that the screws wouldn't align with the sight mount holes. I removed a little material from the receiver end of the mount to get the holes true. The other thin...

Thanks for posting psteinmayer. Your rifle looks good. I think that is what I'm going to do to mine. I was going to mess with a sporterized 03 Springfield build but this is a simpler pseudoscout conversion. I do enjoy shooting my Krags.

My plan is to use my Nikon 2X EER scope. I originally bought the scope to use on a model 41 .22 but the scope is actually more of an intermediate eye relief scope and was no good at arms length. I think that it will work for a scout rifle project.

How do you like it? Do you hunt with the rifle as a scout rifle? As slick as a Krag naturally is I would think it would be a fast woods gun. And with a low power or red dot scope would be even slicker.

While I love my Constabulary Krag I'm not impressed with my ersatz NRA Krag. I would never drill up the receiver to mount a scope even on this carbine but lately I've been thinking about scout rifles. The Kraghaus 6 inch scout scope mount looks very interesting. Just one extra hole which would be hi...

I'm thinking of using my Constabulary rifle in a Garand match this fall (boltgun division) and just saw this speedloader contraption for Krags. I didn't know that there even was such a device. Anyone know where I could get one or have a couple gathering dust in their reloading room that they would p...

butlersrangers, removing the ring and plugging the incorrect screw holes was the first thing I did when I got the rifle and realized the sling bar was just stuck onto the stock. Just didn't study the photos that were posted by the seller. I guess that I'll leave it be but what does the 1898 bolt sle...

Just thought that I would mention that there is a company called Kraghaus that makes a long eye relief scope mount that uses the krag sight's screw holes with a possible third hole being needed depending on the scope and picatinny rail needed. Nice rifle, good hunting.
