<r>'Rev.e': Here are some aids to help you.<br /><br />1. KCA Schematic and table of part names.<br /><br />2. Photo showing side-plate removed, to easily test follower action.<br /><br />3.

Did the cartridges that failed to fire have a strong firing pin indentation on their primers?<br /><br />2. Magazine feed probl...

Re: 1899 carbine serial number help?
Krag #356122 was probably assembled around November of 1901. Nothing is very close in Frank Mallory's list in "The Krag Rifle Story".

Re: Krag side-plate mount
Yes 'gnoahhh', those are all good ideas. I am thinking Cataract Tool did something like soldering a block or base on a side-plate.
If I ever pursue making a 'replica Cataract rig', I will use a side-plate and barrel-band that someone ruined by 'refinishing'.

Re: FINALLY got a Norwegian Krag.
IMHO - I really think this gets over thought. I think the greatest danger is 'under loads' that risk Detonation.<br /><br />I would use 'starting' loads, for 6.5X55 Swede, from an up-to-date manual, like Hornady's and use medium burning powders like IMR-3031, 4895, or 4064. A good way to lower press...

Re: Krag side-plate mount
<r>I guess I will order a copy of this 1899 reprint from Cornell Publications. Hopefully, it shows better detail of the Cataract Mount.<br /><br />Note - The catalog page shows a (Long) Lee-Enfield with the Cataract equipment.<br /><IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/ya...

Re: Magazine cutoff lever.
<r>'usmc73': You did not say which model Krag you have. <br /><br />(Early model 1892 and early model 1896 Krags had cut-off levers that were "Up" to be 'single shots' and "Down" to be 'repeaters').<br /><br />Most Krags will have later cut-off levers that are "Up" (wit...

Re: Krag side-plate mount
It was I, that said, the Krag side-plate is thin. The Cataract mount appears to have a thick block that was 'anchored' to the side-plate.
