Krag Collectors Association Forum

Nick787! Meaning no disrespect, and I ask this because of your comment about looking down the bore: do you know the trick for removing the bolt? If someone did not tell or show you how you could spend a long time when it is deceptively simple! If you don't know how just sing out and the you can look...

1898's with 1901 and 1902 rear sights abound and for less than 1K. Check out Gunbroker and be happy.

I see the OP has "the old one that fit"

Why are you replacing it?

thanks

this is a truly beautiful rifle I would love to own. How is the bore and does it have a circled P behind the trigger guard and a cartouche on the left side of the stock?

Is it the light or is it nickled or chromed?

Congrats.

strange the things we do. I picked up the last 5 inches of a Krag barrel with the front sight base on it, at a gunshow for 5 bucks. It's in a bag with all my Krag parts.

Enjoy your weekend!

no serial number

no, no hold open notch on receiver and no pin on the extactor, the rifel was not upgraded.

Maybe there is some confusion as I mentioned another rifle I have with four digit serial number that was, indeed, upgraded to 1896.

As I said there is more to it that boiled linseed oil.
