try surplusrifle.com - on left of screen scroll down and choose us krag rifle then on the next screen on the far right there is bolt and rifle disassembly instructions.

Thud,
Thanks for the quick answer. I will try it

I have an 1898 Krag that is missing its ejector and ejector pin. All else seems OK. Can you tell me a good source for replacement parts? Is it a hard fix? What problems might I run into?
Thanks,
Marine 3 Tennessee

Marine,

The Krag comes apart fairly easy, the bolt takes a little getting used to but that comes with practice.� I found a couple of ejectors and pins on Ebay (just type "krag" in search window).� The other ideas would be gunbroker.com or auctionarms.com�

I'm in the hunt for a new ejector myself, mine appears to be handmade.

Thud,
So far no luck in finding Kag ejectors and pins for my 1898.
If you are looking also, let me know if you find another source.
Thanks, Marine 3
