Krag Collectors Association Forum

If you ever watch the old reruns of Hogan's Heros, SGT Schultz the German guard, is carrying a Krag. I guess they couldn't find a 98 Mauser for him.

I found that you can use the Lee .303 collet neck sizer on the Krag. You can turn down the mandrel slightly, in a drill press with emery cloth, if needed to get the neck tension you want. No lube with the collet die is needed, and the cases seem to last forever.

Thanks

I don't know what brand of scope mount it is. It has only U4 on it. By the looks, it was designed to be mounted low.<br />The Krag turns out to be a good shooter, despite the handicap of a 12 lb trigger, and a coarse, post and crosshair reticule. Correcting the trigger pull will be on a future post....

<r>The SN begins with 313, and the barrel is 25" long, measured from the bolt face. there is a notch at the muzzle for the front sight. The rear sight holes are plugged and finished over, but I still can see the outlines. Maybe it is not an original Krag barrel. As I feared, moving the scope ba...
