Gee, that long Krag in the night shot looks kind of Yankee up front. Wide upper band, no underbarrel bayonet lug. Compare to Norsk 1894 -

Re: Krag Stripper Clips
This thread is making me sad!
Anyone with enough mind and dexterity to load, aim, and fire a Krag has enough skill to make these chargers!

Re: Making clips for a Krag Handguard
