Title: New to me Norwegian Krag, have questions. Post by BM1455 on Mar 1st, 2013 at 5:58pm
Just picked up a late model Norwegian Krag 1912/22 carbine. This is my fist Krag . The gun has had some limited sporterization done to it so it is missing the front barrel band and most of the fore section of both the upper hand-guard and the lower stock. The mid barrel band is there. The stock and gun are all matching #’s and does not appear to have been sanded so I would like to try to save as much of the original wood and finish as I can. My initial thoughts are to find a reproduction fore-end and a repro upper hand guard, plus a late-model front barrel band. (I’m assuming that original parts would be unavailable or too costly?? -not sure) The plan would be to join the replacement lower fore stock to the original under the mid barrel band, thus hiding the seam. The upper hand guard may be too thin to splice so perhaps a total replacement is in order for that part of it. I also may need a replacement front sight blade but I will have to think about that a little more. Anyone have any suggestions for a project like this and a source for the parts?
