Also, we need a picture of the front of the stock to see if the stock is a cut down rifle stock or an authentic carbine stock that was put on your Krag.

Many Krags, whether they are original military Krags or cut down rifles, are great shooting firearms. If you aren't comfortable to do so yourself, have a gunsmith examine your Krag to see if it looks in good condition to fire. Get some 30-40 Krag ammunition and try it out. You'll love shooting it!

Keep us informed and we'll wait for the pictures.

This shows the front of a carbine stock.


I finally had a chance to have a gunsmith look at it. He said everything mechanically is great and is safe to shoot. He did how ever mention that there is not much rifling left so it may not be very accurate. now to get it to a range and see. Thank you everyone again for all your input.
