I finally received a cleaning rod for my Model 1894 Norwegian Krag service rifle. Thanks to Warren of Ontarion (who provided the rod...) and Nord of Norway (who provided what seem like half of the rifle...), it's done. Bayo? Well, maybe, but I don't sweat those as much as having the basic rifle itself completed.
Although I have no known Norwegian background, it feels good to have this piece of Norwegian hisotry complete after so long. Thanks everyone for your help here!
Anyone need e-mail pics of the rifle, parts, etc, let me know. ;)
PS Trust me...watch E-Bay for a rod from Ontario. It'll be the same fellow I connected with directly, and the one I got from him was outstanding. In fact, my ID of his rod (thanks to Nord and the Smithsonian), let him know what he actually had! You just never know with this stuff...
