Title: SRS Documented Krag on Auction Site Post by Whig on Jan 2nd, 2020 at 3:00pm
I have run across a sporterized Krag rifle that has issues but is documented as issued to 5th USV INF in the 1st edition of the Springfield Research Service book. I am not bidding on this but I thought I would post this in case anyone else wanted to check it out. Most Krag owners do not own a documented Krag.
I would contact the auction company and ask for a picture of the receiver markings to make sure it is as listed for the serial number. They do make mistakes. I suspect, because of this auction house and the condition of the rifle, that it will sell cheap. I would guess around $200-300, unless it gets out to the general public that this is documented. Maybe no one is interested but it is interesting and may be a rare chance to get a documented rifle at low cost. Lot#55 on the sight below. Lot #55 SN: 55856 Bid History 1 bidder $17.00 Description: Bolt action with front and rear sights, sporterized stock, sling, 24" barrel, SN 55856. Condition: Normal wear and finish loss. Drilled for side mount. Great bore and action. (You need to Login |

Unfortunately it has been drilled and tapped and restoring it back to is original condition will cost and not be worth it. But if someone has a connection to the history it would be a good buy.

Yea, it definitely has issues but some Krag enthusiast may want it because it has documented history and the price may be right.
