We are saddened to learn of the death of Franklin B. Mallory, who leaves us a wealth of information as a reward for tireless research of Krag-Jorgensen rifles. Frank, who was a friend to many and respected by all of us KCA members, has left us a well organized, authoritative and clearly written book...

Dear MTK,

If you are going to post on our site, which is a collectors site, and ask for information, get the DAMN X's out of the serial number!!!!

"Thank you" to Dave Towers for his pictures.

Richard,<br><br>Nice find! Not pristine, but good for the money. We reload for the Danish Krag 8x58r. Initial investment can be quite a bit. Buffalo arms has dies and brass, reformed from 45-70. If you don't want to bother with the reloading, let me know and I can take this gun off your hands, and m...

John,

What kind of information are you seeking? I own a couple of Dane carbines myself and may be able to help you. Also the books by Mallory and by Brophy each have sections on Danish Krags.

Go to our photo section. We don't have a picture of an 1896 long rifle (we should do that), but if it is un-cut, your gun should look like the 1898 rifle for the most part.

Sounds to me like the extractor (the long bar on top of the bolt) isn't working. It may have a worn or broken tip. Without seeing it, I can't be sure. They are fairly easy to come by and replace. I don't have an extra right now, but someone else on the site may have one to offer. Check out our Class...

There is a Krag used in the classic film "To Kill a Mockingbird". Watch closely in the scene where Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) has to shoot a rabid dog in the street. It is a cutdown Krag that shoots so straight and gets the job done.<br><br>It is always fun to see them in the movies!!!<b...
