Title: More photos of my 1896 for you...
Post by Fred G. on Oct 14th, 2018 at 3:48pm
Part of my buddy’s collection. Two of these Krags are gone now. My 1896 was the 2nd one down from the top and one of the two on the bottom has been sold to some guy already. The other 1898 is still there and awaiting me buying it back if I want. It and the other 1898 that was sold are Five numbers apart from each other.

Here’s what I get when I try to post photos...

With the file AC033A72-3F0E-4F19-A745-B2CDCE1B1E5C.jpeg (415 KB) you exceed the maximum allowed upload directory volume.

Sigh... I’ll just stop posting

Ok, no need to stop posting.   

The picture issue should be taken care of.  Try again.

Thanks fellas! OK, let me try this now...

Yep! I can post more photo's! Thanks so much every one of you for fixing that!!!

Yep, the 2nd Krag down is my 1896. Id sold it to my buddy years ago and of course I had to buy it back. He didn't do me any favor's either. But I've got it back now.

I can still buy back the 1898 that I owned once too. It's only $1,000.00, but the 1887 sling and brass sight cover are of course extra. Cleaning rods and oiler included.

Close up of 1903 sling. I really like this type over the 1887.

Since none of our kids have an interest in this Krag, and none of them have produced grandkids yet, I won't fantasize about leaving this rifle to anyone in our family one day down the road. It really needs to go to a Krag enthusiast who will value it.
So, heads up on that to any of you interested in a future decision on that somewhere down the road.
Just sayin...  ;)
