Title: Re: Not a Krag barrel
Post by butlersrangers on Apr 2^nd, 2020 at 3:14am

I've personally seen four, maybe five Krags, over the years with 're-purposed' 1903 Springfield barrels.

At least three of these Krags vaguely followed the lines of the "DCM/NRA carbine".

These carbine-length Krags with '03 barrels were fitted with a Krag rifle rear-sight and showed the 'armory/ordnance bomb/date marking'.

Machine marks and the smaller outside diameter made the origin of the barrels obvious.
