I just received my first Krag. An 1897 Steyr ...serial number 354 and according to Boer War rifle expert Ron Bester it is very probable Boer Krag. Unfortunately sporterized ....but very well done and excellent bore. It also has Boer (Afrikaner) name carved in stock. I am a South African and collect Boer War rifles....that is why I ended up buying this rifle even though sporterized. Rare opportunity to buy a Boer Krag.
I will post pictures. It has an interesting old Lyman peep sight very nicely attached to back of bolt release.
