Title: Re: new krag carbine Post by butlersrangers on Oct 2nd, 2018 at 6:39pm
Your rear sight appears to be a complete model 1896 carbine sight.
Your hand-guard appears to be a heavily sanded model 1892 rifle hand-guard. Your stock is cut-down. It was likely a rifle stock, refurbished prior to WW1, inspected and marked by J.F. Coyle. (It could also be a cut-down 'school rifle' stock, but, less likely). If the photo with the 'dovetailed front-sight' is this Krag's muzzle-crown, you simply have a rifle that was cut-down to 22+ inches for hunting. (The model 1896 carbine rear-sight and 1892 hand-guard are a nice bonus. They have nothing to do with the rest of this Krag). You bought a desirable carbine sight, worth what you paid. Consider the rest of the stuff as free. IMHO - This thread is confusing because of the 'mixed blend' of pictures. |
