Title: Re: 1894 30-40 Krag. Model number or year made?
Post by Mark Sam on May 13th, 2012 at 3:26pm
I've been asked by a couple of folks to add a few more pics to better determine the exact model and history of this Krag.  I've been told it's rough and needs re-finished and re-blued and I've been told NOT in any way to re-blue the metal, simply and carefully remove the paint splatter and clean and oil it.  It's pretty rough but I hate to modernize it. Thanks for the replies.

PS: On the worst/ fuzziest photo it shows a couple of metal pins or something odd on the left side of the bolt section, what are those? shims placed by someone after the fact? I can take a better photo later if necessary but if you folks know I am curious.  Thanks again
