What do you all think about this nice old Krag rifle? Looks like a good one to me. Pictures are not the greatest and don't do this rifle justice.post-162187-0-57334300-1493913344_thumb.jpgpost-162187-0-05839000-1493913354_thumb.jpgpost-162187-0-74085900-1493913365_thumb.jpgpost-162187-0-11587700-1493913384_thumb.jpgpost-162187-0-37228700-1493913390_thumb.jpgpost-162187-0-65330500-1493913402_thumb.jpgpost-162187-0-13377600-1493913410_thumb.jpgpost-162187-0-65069500-1493913418_thumb.jpg

You are making me cry. I sold my 1896 Krag back in 1982 to help finance my move to Ca. Really cool guns. Enjoy!

I am going to try and get some better pics. The bore is outstanding. I'll post more pics over the weekend. Thanks

The condition of the bluing really stands out and marks this rifle as an unusually nice example. Load up some handloads and go shoot it!

Here are some better pics of the bluing on this rifle. Absolutely beautiful for a 120 years old.

Any chance you could snap some pictures of the nose of the stock and the barrel/band fit?

 

I'm curious if the barrel is bedded like those on M1903s with contact only on the receiver flat/recoil lug and the tip of the stock.
