Title: Re: Inherited Norwegian Krag Post by butlersrangers on Feb 2nd, 2014 at 1:03pm
sgtheindl: Welcome to the Krag Collectors Association forum. You have the very desireable Norwegian Model 1912 Carbine (Karabin M1912). Your Carbine, #20,832(?), was built in 1918 at the Kongsberg Vappenfabrikk in Norway. 'Parashooter' gives advice I would certainly follow. I have fired Norma, Privi, and Korean factory loads in my Swedish Mausers and in a sporterized Model 1912. Once I had a 'brass base', I reloaded with 'starting' loads that also were considered 'accuracy loads'. Hopefully, you still have the metal butt-plate under the rubber recoil pad. 6.5X55mm is a sweet shooting round without much recoil. In your photo, it appears the small 'headless' screw is missing, that should project through the hole in the rear hand-guard, just in front of the sight. This serves as a pillar or rest for the rear sight leaf. The leaf can be flipped forward and the back blade is notched to serve as a 'battle sight'.
