Interesting Sporter

[Brian Carp]

My sporterized Krag is the product of a Hart Arms Co. conversion done in the late '40s or early '50s. They removed the military magazine cover and replaced it with a hinged, stream lined "hatch", reducing the capacity to four rounds. The barrel is a re-chambered 1903 Springfield barrel dated 1936.
It's a sweet rifle, but I'm interested in selling it...but it looks like I'm currently disallowed from posting in Classifieds, even though I'm an ex-member of the "old" forum...!

That is certainly an interesting looking sporter and appears to be nicely kept. I need another 30 caliber rifle like I need another hole in the head but I gotta ask how much?

I think you now could list it after your first post with a new user name.

Brian, I remember some of these pictures. Neat Krag sporting rifle!

I like the picture of the Hart establishment. I presume it was in Cleveland, Ohio?

Bryan sent me an offer that I think is very fair. Like I said I really do not need another 30 caliber rifle. If anyone else really likes this, please go for it and save me.

Correct! Cleveland, OH. It's stamped into the replacement magazine cover.

I am hoping to commit to this rifle soon if no one beats me to it.

Tracking says mo should be there the 28th

I'm hoping to work this into my granddaughter's first deer rifle. 3040 strong enough at given distances, mild recoil and the sporter peep will be an easy learner.

Boxing the rifle up today for shipment. Thanks for the purchase, Rick…and I hope your granddaughter gets years of use out of it…!
