The 'Alterations' were likely done in Norway. There is a strong hunting & target tradition with the Krag in Norway!
Steyr had a contract and produced Model 1894 rifles for Norway, during 1896 & 1897. Caution - Caution - Caution: Norwegian Krags have a left-hand barrel thread. (Even the ones made under contract by Steyr). Some pictures of your altered Krag and 'fired' cartridge case will help others help you. FYI - early Steyr catalog giving some specs on Norwegian contract rifle. |
