Re: 1944 Steyr made Krag????

The descriptions very slightly between Malory and Brophy's books but it sounds like you have a Model 1894 Short Rifle and/or a M1943 Nazi Occupatin Carbine. These were made durring German occupation and the dimensions are similar to the german M98K. Some were converted from rifles in stock and some ...

Re: Another 1894 Question

Nice pictures. They confirm what the numbers tell us and what Don posted above, you have is nicly done "sporter". The collector value is minimal but the faimly history makes it very valuable to you. Most Krag sporters are very good shooters so enjoy it along with your good memories.<br>Hap...

Re: First Krag...New to everything related

Hello Don,<br>From your pics your rifle has an '03 Springfield front sight. It appears to be a Bannerman style cut down. Would you give us the barrel length? An original Krag barrel would be 30". If it has been cut down I would say it is in the $200-$300 range depending on the quality of the wo...

Re: Krag bolt

Chris,<br>Do not fire your Krag in that condition, it is not worth the risk. Replacement bolt bodys are available. As for being common with Krags, it is not common with Krags around here. I have seen it once in 25+ years ona sporter I bought for parts. I would say that it is a sign of abbusive ammun...

Re: Rear sight alignment

I use 40 gr. IMR 4350 and Hornady 220 gr rn. they come very close to military veloicity and performance. I like the Hornady because they seem to have a more round nose contour than others. My dad uses Sieras though with similar results, so I would say that any 220 rn would serve your purpose.<br> A ...

Re: Rear sight alignment

How big is your target backer board? The diffrence in the trajectory of 180 over 220 could have you shooting over the board. Your after market sight being set for the 180's and the military sight graduated for 220's is likely the problem. Reloading 220's to aproxamatly military specs has worked well...
