Krag Collectors Association Forum

Acquired sporterized krag. Need help understanding what I own.
Model 1898
Serial # 184488
Rear Sight Redfield
Shortened barrel
Modified Stock
Value?
Any info greatly appreciated

Also found "U" on band.

Welcome. Pictures would help immensely in providing more detail. So far, what you describe is a sporterized Krag. How’s the bore look? Have you shot it?

Not shot.
Phone pics too large to post. Trying to figure how to reduce size.

Value with Redfield sight around $350. Value may increase if we can see pictures of the rifle!

Just open MS Paint and resize in equal parts the horizontal and vertical. My camera make pics that are 4 meg in size. I save as a new file name and reduce from there. Usually 40 percent gets me close then I fine tune from there. You can resize to whatever percentage you want just ensure you make a copy first.

Never work on your original unless you "save as" another name.

I actually use any Microsoft email to email the photos to myself. I use my disposable hotmail account most of the time. I send the photos to myself and when I hit send, it asks me what size to send the photos and lists the sizes. I choose the size that will allow me to post on the forum. Save the images and done.
