Krag Collectors Association Forum

Neat pics! My current Krag dates 1899, so it could be there.

Nice looking old rifle. Everbody should have at least one Bubba Krag. I've had a few over the years, am currently down to one. Most of them shoot pretty well, they're lots of fun.

OK, I'll be honest. The stock is butt ugly. Other than that, nice rifle. You said you could take it.

Are you using the same collet die for both the 308 and 30/40?

Definately +1 on a second opinion. Cut down the barrel, can't be done, both opinions sound like they're coming from someone who doesn't know what they're doing or doesn't want to do the work.

I'd guess that by 1914 Krags were probably not held in high regard when compared to the "new" Springfield.

Thanks for the pics/info. I have an original trashed cutoff that I will be able to use so won't have to go the nail route. Wondering whether or not the Redfield when installed will clear the Rice screw/nut that replaced the original extractor rivet. Or will an original rivet have to be used?

WAG = Wild ass guess.

Thanks. The price I offered the seller was a WAG, he was quite happy with it and was very happy to find a Rice sight. Glad he found what he as looking for. I have a very nice Redfield 70K on the way, so I'm happy too.
