A matter of perspective:
We all like to see and enjoy well preserved Krags in their issued configuration. For approximately 35 years, (1894-1930), U.S. Krag-Jorgensen rifles and carbines saw use as military arms or continued on in military match shooting. (Yes, I know, some may have lurked in lockers on U.S.N. ships in the 1930's and 40's. In recent years, there is a re-appearance of issue Krags in 'Vintage' and 'Roosevelt' matches). But, for over 100 years, a significant part of the Krag Story has been the use across America of altered Krags as Family Hunting Rifles. Some modified Krags would make a Gargoyle Wince. It's nice to see a handsome one and the Hunting Tradition continue. |
