More about Krags in other calibers: The .25-35 Winchester was a rather common choice for rebarreling an old Krag. I think I have seen 3 over the years. If one came along and was decent, I might be tempted.
Ness reported on one in .25 Remington Rimless, with a 3-shot magazine. Was that a one-off? Rifles were and are still made for the .25 Krag case, but no Krag action should ever be considered. The old timers knew that. The same thing would apply to a 7 mm Krag. That brings me to thinking about other heavy-bullet hunting cartridges. Have you ever seen a Krag in .38-55 or its latter day variant, the .375 Winchester? Would the Krag action work with a .45-70 cartridge? |
