Title: Re: Not a Krag barrel
Post by Knute1 on Apr 1^st, 2020 at 1:46am

My Krag sporter (the one I will be using for bear hunting this Fall, hopefully) has a 1903 barrel marked R.I.A 1-09 for Rock Island Armory, January 1909. The barrel measured from muzzle to bolt face is 23 - 3/16". Teeth marks near the receiver. 1896 rear sight straddled over a dovetail.
