Title: New to forum, with questions on 1896 Krag Carbine Post by Sgt. Rob on Mar 5th, 2013 at 10:04pm
Hello Gents, I have been reading through here quite a bit and decided I should join up, as I have recently been bitten by the Krag bug. What got it started was a conversation with a coworker about a Krag he had. All parties thinking it was a sportered rifle. Well after making the deal it appears to be an actual 1896 Carbine. I will post some pictures and would appreciate any info provided, particularly as it appears that some members have access to SRS information. Serial # is 77250. The stock is completely unsalvageable. So basically what I have is a barreled action missing the rear sight and the safety on the bolt. All other parts will need to be searched for. Please let me know what you think. I think it is a restoration candidate. The bore is nice, given the rust on the outside I was surprised by that.
Remember she is rough, but restoration has already begun.......... (You need to Login (You need to Login (You need to Login (You need to Login (You need to Login (You need to Login Semper Fi, Rob |
