Title: Re: US Krag stock length Post by butlersrangers on Jan 2nd, 2017 at 12:50am
FWIW - I don't have a (22 inch barrel) 'Philippine Constabulary or School rifle', nor, do I have a (26 inch barrel) Board of Ordnance & Fortifications rifle to measure.
However, it is possible to extrapolate the necessary stock length of a Krag for a given barrel length and allowing for acceptance of a bayonet. Officially made - Springfield Armory Krags display three barrel lengths: 22 inches - Krag Carbine models and Philippine Constabulary & School Rifles adapted for a bayonet. (School Rifle & PC Rifle stocks would measure 38 inches - OAL). 26 inches - Ultra-rare, Board of Ordnance & Fortifications rifles. (BoO&F Rifle stocks would measure 42 inches - OAL). 30 inches - regular Krag Rifles. (Regular U.S. Krag Rifle stocks measure 46 inches - OAL). A non-official Krag Rifle, with its barrel shortened to 24 inches, would require a stock approximately 40 inches long, if adapted to accept a bayonet |
