To start with... probably Joe Poyer's "The American Krag Rifle and Carbine".

Full of information, readily available and at an inexpensive cost.

I wish I would have known about this earlier. I was looking for a sling for my trapdoor and had seen this sling.

Passed on it because it didnt look correct to me. Looking at it again, I think it was an engineer Krag sling that sold for $66.

Finally had a chance to take her out to the range. She shoots very well, but the 220 military loads shoot stronger than I expected. The last Krag Carbine I shot was my buddies and he shoots 170(?) with a target load.

I also was lucky enough to find and buy a very nice 1903 Rock Island Arsenal engineer sling to finish her off. Great look to me.

I want to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions regarding my first Krag. I'ts as much a joy to shoot as it is to look at. Very cool little guns.

You mind if I add your rifle to the KCA serial number database?

Of course you may add my 1899 carbine to the KCA database
