Title: OALW 82
Post by kw64 on Mar 28^th, 2015 at 9:01pm

I have a model 1899 Krag carbine that has a small oval plate screwed into the bottom of the cheek part of the stock, where a sling swivel would go normally, that says "OALW 82". Has anyone seen such a marking on a krag before. I have no doubt it was applied after it left service, but have no idea wha it might mean or refer to. Any ideas?

thank you :)
