Welcome to KCA where we love our Krags. We can help answer many of your questions about your new Krag.

Being given the serial number, we can only tell you the date of manufacture which is 1899. Anything further we would need more information and pictures.

This forum has lots of posts listed in different categories that you can search through as well as many pictures to help identify what you have.

The more you can show us and tell us, the more we can help. Many Krags have been altered or cut down after having left the Springfield Armory where they were all made from 1894 to 1903 and possibly early 1904.

The markings that are on the stock and receiver are very important in identifying your Krag.

So, let us know more. We'd like to see what you've got!
