I am looking at adding a new member to the family. i just need to know if this is real or a cut down rifle.
the serial number is 281615 and it is a 1899. any help would be wonderful.
BTW, my other Krag is a 1894 rifle with a clean bore that is almost unused (at least when i got it!) but it is mucho fun to shoot!
Some dufus put a adjustable peep sight on it many years ago and i chose to leave it on, it works great, and judging by the wear and patina it was not long after the rifle left service that it was installed.
Thank you,
