Title: Pictures of my two bubbafied babies

Here are a couple of my old beater 30-40s they both shoot very well.

Not pretty but they bring home the meat. ;)

Nice looking rifles!� Do you think the shorter one was a genuine carbine and not just a cut down rifle?� How long is the barrel on the longer one?� I have one that was cut off at 26 inches.

Ah - the magic number!!! What is the s/n of your 26" barrel, and are you sure it was cut-off?

Dick, my 26" Krag is either 175xxx or 231xxx, I can't remember which.� Does that put it the proper s/n range?

We'll have to see what edritchey says about his.

That little one the barrel measures 22" The big one the barrel measures 24" The short one looks like it has a factory crown on it but the longer one has a recessed target crown on it.

I like that adjustable thing with my old eyes it works out great being able to open it up till things are nice and clear.

The 24 inch is similar to my sporter in that it has the Krag front sight post re-installed and a decent crown. Mine has an aftermarket sporter stock (which I hate, by the way), and until recently, had a Redfield 102 rear sight on it. I now have a 1902 rear sight on mine. :D

Nice looking Krag Sporters though!!!
