Re: Krag cartouche

Clyde,<br><br>Thanks for the two photos you e-mailed me. Unfortunately, I can't find anything like them in my Handbook of Military Rifle Marks. Do you know any of the history of this gun? The reason I ask is that the marks may be something to do with a National Guard unit or American Legion post or ...

Re: Krag cartouche

I can't find anything right away that matches your description. Photos would probably be helpful. If you could send them to me at my e-mail pbutts@stny.rr.com

Re: Krag information

Some still have the original military sights others with nice Williams peep sights and some with scopes (standar...

Re: Ebay Krag

Mitch,

I saw that too and thought it was kind of strange. It is listed as a "live auction". I don't know how that is different and how it gets past their rules, though.

Strange stuff....

Re: WTB STock & Front hardware for Norwegian Krag

Gil,<br><br>I must offer to you my <u>most humble</u> apologies!!!!! I addressed my previous comment on this post to the wrong person. My brother Ned just brought this to my attention.

Re: Can anyone believe it??!!

Nord,<br><br>Good point, well stated! It is interesting how words like "sniper" and "carbine" and "bayonet with cavalry scabbard" get thrown around quite generously on auctions. <br><br>And, nice job not biting! I know you are not dangerous, and one of the good guys!!! ...

Can anyone believe it??!!

Have you all checked out the Norwegian "Sniper" model rifle on the Gunbroker auction site? Now I like a rare, Norwegian Krag as much as the next guy, but these people are getting carried away!!!! The bidding is up to over $3500 and it still has something like 6 days left!!!!<br><br>I don't...
