'wanttolearn' - Attached please find a schematic and a couple of pictures that I hope you find helpful.
Disassembly of magazine-gate and hinge-pin goes easier if you remove left side-plate. (This lessens spring tension). Also, squirting a penetrant-oil on the exposed areas of hinge-pin will help. A padded "C-Clamp" can be used to hold magazine-gate in position on receiver, while twisting & wiggling the hinge-pin forward out of the holes in receiver and gate. (I have strong fingers & experience and can do this by hand). Make sure your replacement magazine-gate is correct for your Krag. Model 1896 and model 1898 gates are different. The 1898 gate is 'boxier' looking at the top rear corner. |
