Those M1896 carbine hand guards are so fragile, I have repaired the front wood ring on a couple myself through fabrication. I wouldn't care if yours were original or not! I'd buy them and use them!

Good luck. Nice pieces. How much do you want for each?

There are definitely unknowns out there waiting to be discovered! Don't ever think otherwise or the search is over for most of us!<br /><br />Can't imagine how many will continue to trickle in discovered in an attic or closet for generations.

I cracked up when I saw it! Had to copy the picture. I'd love to know more about it but never did find out anything.

Love it!

<r>Hi, Rap.<br /><br />You haven't given much info about your Krag or any pictures but I am attaching a couple pictures from the KCA website that show different Krag sights. Yours might be the Model 1898 sight or a variation of such with the three notches in the rear. We would love to see pictures o...

You have a great Krag carbine, however it got this way, and can be proud of owning it. The M1896C rear sight is a fantastic part of this carbine. Much rarer than a lot of people realize. Many authentic arsenal M1896 carbines need the authentic sight. You can't find them for sale and if you ever see ...
