Krag Collectors,
the stock show 1903 and the serial also I believe.
I have a krag feeding question.
I have not had this long.
I loaded some ammo and I shot it the other day.
it will not push the last round up far enough so it can be picked up by the bolt.
usually 4 will feed.
when I got it would not feed at all.
Someone had taken it apart and did not capture the rod for the magazine properly. I reassembled it so the feeder would press against the shells when closed.
Any common problem to look for?
the rod looks just a little bent, I had to peck it gently with a plastic hammer to put it back in. cannot see that it would have ever had more 'spring' though maybe it did.
How to fix or what to replace?
It seemed to shoot okay otherwise.
I did not group as well it as I did the gew98 8mm I took the same day. But there will be more trips.
thanks
