Title: Krag lower band sling swivel
Post by hrragen on Jun 14^th, 2012 at 10:49pm

Is the sling swivel on the lower band the same on a krag as on a 1903 springfield, or are they close enough that the 1903 will work on a krag?

hrragen:� A 1903 Springfield lower band sling-swivel will work on a Krag.� Unless from an early '03, the finish will be different (parkerized).� In a pinch, an M1 Garand swivel can be utilized.

I tryed a but swivel from my remington o3A3 and it seams to fit. That tells me one from a 1903 springfield should work. Thanks for your reply.
