The Krag in Michigan
<r>The attached photo is from my family collection and shows (Upper Penisula) Michigan State Troops in training near Manistee, Michigan, around 1900-1903. The bulk of the men have Model 1899 Remington-Lee Rifles in .30-40 Govt. The NCO at the left has a Krag. The soldier addressing the group has a K...

Re: Correct sight for 98 Carbine?
Shift_master: You have a nicely sporterized Krag. As others have pointed out, it is most likely you have a "rifle" action re-barreled with a carbine barrel. At the time your's was made, carbines used 1899 marked actions. Your 'peep' rear sight was manufactured by Leroy Rice company, Elyria...

ID banded front sight base
<r>Can anyone identify this banded front sight on my sporterized 1899 carbine? It holds a Marble's blade.

Re: Grandfathers Krag
Pat Armstrong: Apparently, Farmer the Joe (5MadFarmers) is an author. Unfortunately, some of your question(s) got lost in our banter. Barrel length is properly measured by inserting a cleaning rod from the muzzle until it stops against the closed bolt. Mark the rod with a marker or piece of tape at ...

Re: Grandfathers Krag
Dick Hosmer, You are always a Gentleman and a kindly and valuable resource! For anyone wanting some cheap (and probably flawed information), I noticed a tattered and shop worn 1st edition of Poyer's book on eBay for less than $8.00, postage included! You can find it listed under "Krag". Ch...

Re: picked up my first krag
walrus: Welcome to the Krag Forum and the 'World of Enjoying Krags'. I hope you enjoy your Range Session. You should give us more details on your Krag (i.e. barrel length, current sights, stock status). If you can post some photos, you will get lots of information from helpful members. There is a lo...

Re: Krag sideplate
MadFarmers: Like yourself, I own Mallory's, Bropy's, and Poyer's books. I enjoy all three (along with ordnance manuals and KCA Forum contributions). I find that they complement each other. IMHO, Poyer's Book supplies lots of useful photographs and parts details. It helps me more fully enjoy the evol...
