Krag Collectors Association Forum

Since they're already unsightly and have ruined the collector's value, I like the idea of threading screws in the holes and grinding and filing them flush inside and out. I have seen some well done examples of this. More controllable than welding unless you are very skilled. That's assuming you can ...

That's really neat to find two rifles that shared battle together 120 years ago!

As I have had to do many times with coins, I have needed to use a magnifying glass to determine the difference between an overstrike and a die or stamping error. Deep stamps can be confusing as we know with the "3" and "8" stamps on Krags. A small piece of metal in the die upon s...

<r>This is a known anomaly of which I have never heard of a good reason for. It is not contained to the 1896/1895 dates as in your example.<br /><br />I have one of these also. Mine (below) is an 1899 over 1898 strike. This is on my PC Krag rifle. It has been referred to as "rare" or "...

(I could ...

Those M1896 carbine hand guards are so fragile, I have repaired the front wood ring on a couple myself through fabrication. I wouldn't care if yours were original or not! I'd buy them and use them!

Good luck. Nice pieces. How much do you want for each?

There are definitely unknowns out there waiting to be discovered! Don't ever think otherwise or the search is over for most of us!<br /><br />Can't imagine how many will continue to trickle in discovered in an attic or closet for generations. People die who have accumulated firearms over years and e...

Supply and demand!

You're welcome. They've helped me out a lot.
