Re: Help on Danish Krags needed

John,

What kind of information are you seeking? I own a couple of Dane carbines myself and may be able to help you. Also the books by Mallory and by Brophy each have sections on Danish Krags.

Best regards,
Tom

Re: just bought a mod 1898 ser#82738

Go to our photo section. We don't have a picture of an 1896 long rifle (we should do that), but if it is un-cut, your gun should look like the 1898 rifle for the most part.

Best regards,

Tom

Re: Ejector won't eject

Sounds to me like the extractor (the long bar on top of the bolt) isn't working. It may have a worn or broken tip. Without seeing it, I can't be sure. They are fairly easy to come by and replace. I don't have an extra right now, but someone else on the site may have one to offer. Check out our Class...

Re: Is that a Krag Carbine in "Death Hunt"

There is a Krag used in the classic film "To Kill a Mockingbird". Watch closely in the scene where Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) has to shoot a rabid dog in the street. It is a cutdown Krag that shoots so straight and gets the job done.<br><br>It is always fun to see them in the movies!!!<b...

Parts for Sale

I have a complete bolt, rear sight, trigger guard and internal trigger mechanism for sale, from a Springfield Krag 1896. I hope they can help some one.

I am in turn looking for a receiver for a 1898, and a sporterized barrel for a 1898.

In search of Danish Krag parts!!!

Hello all,

As I quite often am, I am again looking for some Dane parts. I am in need of two extractors for the Danish Krag. I would also be interested in complete bolts if anyone were to have one or more of those.

Best regards,

Tom

Re: Safe to use commercial ammo?

I have many different Krags in my collection. I shoot reloads from my long rifles to try to keep close to military specs so the sights are on. I use 180 grain factory loads in all of my different sporters. I have never had any problems shooting the factory loads and have very good results in deer hu...
