Title: 6.5X55 Krag
Post by Critter-Gitter on Oct 15th, 2003 at 11:53pm
I have a Krag rifle that I do not know much about. Facts about this weapon:

Barrel:            approx. 30”

Receiver:      Stamped 1901 with some kind of Crown immediately above the date.

Serial Number:      508XX – all numbers match including bolt and butt plate

Caliber:            6.5 X 55, bore is good.  Very accurate.

Stock:      Cut approx 2” in front of trigger guard.  Front wood has serial number stamped in it. Rear stock does not.  Has stock with pistol grip not straight stock.      Rear portion of stock has a “J” in the wood immediately in front of front trigger guard screw. Same Crown marking on left-hand side of stock above weapons serial number as above the date stamped in receiver.

Issues:      
1.             Front Barrel Band missing.
2.      Sling Guides missing
3.      Cleaning rod missing
4.      Cut in Stock.


I am looking for info on this weapon, any that you can share.  Is there any source of any parts at all for this very fine shooter?  I also would like a ballpark value for insurance purposes.

All help and guidence is greatly appreciated.
