Title: Picked up an 1895 dated Carbine - Please comment Post by OR Hunter on Oct 22nd, 2011 at 7:20pm
Hi all,
This is my first post here and I wanted to get some input on a saddle ring carbine I picked up yesterday. I'm fairly new to Krags, so please let me know what you see that I'm probably overlooking. From what I've been able to find online and by looking at the gun I know it's dated 1895 with serial number 29278. The stock is 30" long which I understand is correct, and the rear sight has a "C" on the base and ladder. Overall it's in good, unmessed-with condition but with considerable pitting under the handguard and visible on the barrel band. The bore is nice and shiny but the lands are worn and there's a slight bulge just behind the front sight. That's about all I know about it so far. Can anyone else add anything? I've got more pictures if needed. DSCF1192.JPG ( 110 KB | 0
