Title: New owner with sporter krag Post by imnotwithreal on Nov 20th, 2017 at 8:56pm
Hiya! I'm a new first time krag owner! I bought a nicely done sporter at a local shop about a week ago. Unfortunately the barrel was cut down to 24in so i won't be able to return this one to military spec, but it should be a good shoter. It is very clean and was well taken care of. It has a Bishop stock, a company I can't find a lot of info on and the rifling is strong. It is missing the magazine cutoff and the safety though. It's an 1894 rilfe with the serial number 20220. The bolt seems to be from an 1896, but thats just judging from pictures that i've compared it to. I was hoping someone could tell me which safety and magazine cutoff i should get to replace them. When looking online, i've noticed there's a couple different ones it could be. It also has what seems to be an aftermarket front sight if anyone has any info on what that is, i would appretiate it. And Finally, the rear sight is missing, in it's place looks to be a single screw and a filled in dovetail. Could this be repaired in such a way to accept an original rear sight?
