I have wanted a rifle in 30-40 krag for sometime now. Had my eye on the new Winchester 1895 carbine but the price seems steep for a replica. I know they are well made as I have a new 1895 in 405 Winchester and I am a lever kinda guy. Anyway, I stooped in at one of my favorite gun/pawn shops and they had this beautiful Krag carbine, M1899, for sale. I could not resist and put in on lay away untill I have the funds to complete the purchase.
I do not know anything beyond what the dealer told me and I do trust them. They said it was a true carbine, had a "C" on the rear sight etc. Looked very good to me at any rate.
The serial # is 357469 and the date on the stock cartouche is 1901.
Can anybody help out with any information on this rifle.?
Thanks in advance.
