Title: Krag ID help
Post by ekuzio on Jun 29th, 2019 at 12:18am
Hello all,

I recently was given a Krag from my grandfather. He told me that it has been converted from 6.5 to 7mm cartridges for ease of access to ammunition back when he was using it for hunting in the 60's.

My preliminary research has led me to believe this Krag is originally Norwegian but that is about all I can figure out at this point. I also know it has been modified/cut down as the barrel measures to 23 inches, and the stock has obviously been significantly modified. There was also an aftermarket sight attached which is the culprit of the two holes near the bolt.
I am especially curious about the "S" in the stock just in front of the trigger guard as I have not seen anything like that in my searches so far.

Any further information you all can provide me with would be awesome. Also if anyone has a clue what the roughly estimated value of a modified rifle such as this would be that would be great to know. Thank you all so much in advance for any help you all can provide.
