Hello Don,<br>From your pics your rifle has an '03 Springfield front sight. It appears to be a Bannerman style cut down. Would you give us the barrel length? An original Krag barrel would be 30". If it has been cut down I would say it is in the $200-$300 range depending on the quality of the wo...

Hello Rick,<br>Hopefully Nord will check in here soon and see your post as he usually has good info on Norwegians. I can tell you that 5,843 M1895 Cavalry Carbines were produced. Although officialy approved in 1895 production didn't begin until 1898. 750 were produced in 1906 the final year of produ...
