Title: Re: Model 1892 to 1896 Krag Jorgensen

Yes, Mark, it has the hold-open pin. This gun was portrayed to me as a Model 1892 upgraded to 1896. I may have misinterpreted what Dick was saying.
So this gun apparently started out as a Model 1892.
The "1894" on the receiver means what?
The serial number shows the gun being built in October 1895?
The cartouche indicates it wasn't inspected until some time in 1896?
I don't have a cement head, but my skull is thick.
