It's like Cat man says, a lot of rumours and misinformation around regarding the Krag and it's ammunition. I've been researching this as well, and I have the advantage of being norwegian and have acces to relevant sources. Cat man wrote: "To that end, the Norwegian shooting societies have over ...

Thats a vey nice Krag. Should be a good shooter with the new barrel. Here's a norwegian gunsmith that's build some custom Krags. Just use google translate, but beware that google translates Krag as "collar". The norwegian word "Krage" means collar... https://www.rafdal-vapen.no/c...

I often see the argument that the Krag could not be loaded by a charger. This is of course not true. The Krag was designed with chargers since the beginning. It was just the armies that adopted it, that didn't want the chargers. They wanted a single loader with the magazine in reserve. In 1888 Kongs...

The drawings are for the 1892 Krag model with the double forward locking lugs. According to Haneviks book, it was deemed as unnessecarily strong during the US trials. It was cheaper to manufacture the standard Krag, and the strength was enough for the intended cartridge. The concept was soon left be...

Woody: Your Krag was originaly a M1912 carbine. The holes on the left side is probably from a Schou dioptersight. These were used on target rifles. Quite a few have used the Schou mounts to attach a scope. https://www.kvf.no/vaapen.php?type=Utstyr&weaponid=UT0106 The M/23 "Sniper" rifl...

Haneviks 2nd book is basically his Krag book with additional chapters about Remington rolling blocks, Jarmanns etc.. As for photos, a lot is online in the "digitalmuseum". I search for "KRAG" and got these hits. Just keep in mind there's some mislabeled rifles etc. I don't think ...

Your medal is a prize from the "Minneskyting" (memorial shoot) at the norwegian national match in 1966. The fieldshooting at the national match always starts with the "memorial shoot" in memory of some important persons or events. It's used to be 6 shots, but now I think it's 12,...

Not danish, but norwegian. Norwegian Krags and the army uniforms are the 1894 model. Last pic. is a guy wearing the uniform of the royal guard.<br /><br />P.S. Most family albums from the periode have lots of pics. like this. I notice the name "Hevne" on the bottom of one pic. It's part of...

Here's pics. of the Krag with four locking lugs:<br />https://digitaltmuseum.no/011022699398/provegevaer-65x55-krag-jorgensen-1889?i=21&aq=<br /><br />The norwegian Krag with the the Parkhurste devise was probably one modified for the "Hagen" charger. Simply an adaptor for a Mauser str...

Volley sights were very common on rifles of that era. The rear sight on this particular rifle looks like it came from a swedish M/89 rolling block. They also had a similar front barrelband with an extra sight blade.
