S&S has some of the Parkhurst clips, for $150 a whack.  If you look at pic Butler'sRanger lightened, you can see, the rear slot is angled to pull the tab back, sorta locking the stripper in place.  It probably wouldn't take much of a nudge to get them falling down in there, depending on the fit of the clip to the rim.

The problem I see with having a Parkhurst device attached is not in the use of the device.  For example:  If there were only 100 original devices made, and 250 people showed up with them, then 150 would obviously NOT be "As issued."  (yes, I know... these numbers are for example only)

Now I'm not saying that 5 or 10 shooters with Parkhurst devices would not be allowed as "As Issued"... just as someone with a replacement handguard or trigger assembly wouldn't be a disqualification.  However, what I am saying is that all Krags have a hand guard.  All Krags have a trigger assembly.  NOT all Krags have a Parkhurst, and the odds that 30 or 40 shooters would show up at a single event with an actual Parkhurst device installed would be extremely slim, given that so few of the actual devices even exist!

my question is just what would make for a as issued weapon, as most Krags have changed over there is short service period and all changes were by the Army. What would be considered as issued as the data on Krags is so limited on the ones that were modified. Even in the message all who have seen it with the correct knowledge to comment would have said a Model 1896 Carbine would not have been in the group of one modified. I have seen the pics and it look like it was done at a arsenal to me and the work does not look like a bubba to me.

That's a good point.  Even an 1892 may have a 1902 sight on it.  It would be hard to narrow down, although an 1896 Krag with a 1901 sight and a stock with no cartouche issued to a National Guardsman stationed in England in 1917 would still be "As Issued" because it was issued by an armory to a serving member to be used in service!

It does murky the waters just a tad...

I'd guess the CMP officials would have to decide that.  It's obvious though that one made to work with anything other than that $150 clip wouldn't be as issued.  They might work as is with an Enfield clip, I don't know and don't have a Parkhurst to try one in.

I have a couple of them, one would have to cut away most all but where the rims slide.  Getting what's left to stop at the right height wouldn't be hard.  Whether or not they'd even go in the slot would be the question.  They have to be reasonably close since the rim is the same diameter.  Job for Mr. Dremel, after you get your parkhurst installed.

Possible but would have to have a way to stop the clip from going all the way down. As I have no drawing to go by I cant say for sure nor do I have th access to one to check it out, as I would be willling to cut up a E to slide intonfield clip with a notch to allow it the Parkhurst and  then stop it at the right hight to allow rounds to cycle into the mag. The last issue would be if it would hold the rounds without sliding out of the clips.
