Just a general note to all of you that post on our forum. <br>I assure you it is ok and safe to post the full serial # of a gun you are seeking information on.

Re: Constabulary Carbine

Col. Mook,

Thanks for the info. I will e-mail you for the full chapter and verse on procurement and modification of valid constabulary carbines.

Thanks,

Tom

Re: 1894 Krag (Repost)

Fred,<br><br>Like Marty said, your gun is not an original 1892 Krag, but it started life as a '92. It is a very low serial number and, thus, a very old gun. It was produced in 1894. Then, like most of the '92 rifles, it was sent back to the armory and updated to 1896 configuration. It is what is kno...

Don (and Nord ),

Josh (our webmaster) and I combined forces to download and send the photos to Nord. I am pretty sure they should have gotten to him. Let me know if something didn't work.

Re: Model 1895 Norwegian Krag Cavalry Carbine

Greg,

Right when you enter the "Krag Forum", before you click on a specific topic, in the upper right corner there is a little yellow folder that says " Start New Topic". Click that and you are on your way!
