MAVT,

Welcome to KCA and glad you finally got the nerve to post about your Krag rifle.

Your Krag is a M1898 rifle, serial number 407052 which was made August 1902. We definitely would love to see pictures of it and give some feedback. Many later M1898 rifles have not been used much and yours might have an excellent condition bore. Regardless, it probably is a great shooting rifle.

Sporterized Krags are common since so many were sold off in the 20s and 30s and cut down to be used for hunting.

So, when you get a chance, let us see pictures of your Krags. There's certainly lots of old posts to read through for lurkers like you. I did the same years ago and learned a lot that way.

Thanks for sharing!
