Interesting Sporter

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...! :lol:

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.

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.
