Krag Collectors Association Forum

Hello: I know you should not buy the story of a rifle. I recently looked at a krag rifle who's owner claimed was used by our troops during the boxer rebellion. Are there any known such rifles?. I said I would check with the experts at the forum for him. The serial no. Is 239927. He says it has been ...

<r>Does anyone have an idea what this stamp represents. It is next to a jsa 1902 stamp on a krag.<br /> Thanks in advance, kc<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/20190506_145141.gif"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/ph...

Thank you for checking my carbines serial no. I will just assume that it belonged to king carps K.P. unit. Lol! Also thank you for the tip on cleaning up the rear sight.

Hello: Thanks for the info. I will try to remove whatever is on the sight. I think it is some kind of black ink. It comes off with my finger nail. Someone must have wanted a better sight picture and darkened it with ink. I an really happy with my new Krag. Thanjs again, KC

Thanks for advice. Was the sight originally blued or left in the white? Also is there some way to check the serial no. To see where it was issued? Thanks again for all the help.

Hello: Thanks, the previous owner said that's the way he acquired the carbine. Instead of patching the swivel inlet I will leave it as it came. Somewhere along the line it grew some swivels and that's the way I will leave it. The bore is clean and I look forward to seeing what it can do. <br />Thank...

Sorry about my fat finger typing. I meant sight hood.

<r>Hello: Thank you for the info. The serial no. Is 287482. Was that sight good kept on the carbine or was it just to protect the sight during shipping?
