Since I'm new to this site, I thougt I would share some pictures and info on my favorite Krag Rifle.  Model 1898, S/N 132598.  My father gave this to me when he discovered that I simply LOVE the 30-40 Krag.  He received it from a friend who kept it under his bed (un-touched) for 50 years.  That man's father carried it home from France in 1918, where he used it in the Great War.  I have been shooting it semi-regularly for 20 some-odd years now.  I shot it most recently last saturday, where I consistantly shot 4 inch groups at 100 yards using reloads with 38.6 grains of IMR-4064 pushing a 165 grain Hornady soft point bullet.  The stock on this rifle is a little rough, and the cartouch is completely worn off, but other than that, it is all original, and has an imaculate bore!  By FAR the best shooting rifle I've ever had!!!
