Hard to find carbine in 6.5X55

[svartkrutt]

Just picked up a Norwegian 1904 carbine, made in 1908.
First one I have seen for sale in at least 12 years.
Also some Norwegian made ammo.

Wow, that's a rare bird indeed! Where in the world did you find it?

That's a great looking Krag model!

Someone was going to auction it, but we came to a deal first.

Very nice! How many were made?

Only 2750, between 1906-1908.

So, I'm thinking you have the Karabin M/1904 for Royal Engineers?

I have it apart for a cleaning, but will post pictures when I get it back together.
