Eventually, a butt-trap was adopted for U.S. Krag rifles and carbines. This provided a place to store Cleaning-Rod sections. Later, many stocks had the cavity altered to also store an oil container.
On later Krags, the top large hole, bored into the Stock-Butt, had 3 smaller holes (drilled into the bottom) that accepted 3 rod sections. The early carbine stocks had just 2 holes, to accept 2 cleaning-rod sections. (Mark - You have to shine a light down the top large butt-trap hole, to see the bottom and how the smaller holes are configured). |
