Thanks for the case filler explanation Parashooter, I've never had a reason to use any. I figured it could cause a problem with bottle necked cases.

Thanks. I figured I would need to seat bullets out quite a bit to get them close to the riflings. I've never used case fillers like Dacron either, I wonder if a piece of cotton ball would work, or...

psteinmayer, thanks for the extra pictures. I'm preparing my stock for bedding right now.
Also, I have a bunch of cast 160gr flat nose/gas check bullets that I used to load for a 30-30. I know they...

There is another barrel with receiver on eBay right now. It looks like crap, & someone drilled holes in it probably to mount a scope.

It's amazing what things will sell for on eBay sometimes!

Experimenting with trying to attach a few pictures of my Krag sporter project. I have been letting the rear sight soak in penetrant oil for over a week, was finally able to get...

Ok. The sporter stock I have is very beefy also, so I'm thinking about just using it for now until I find a replacement. Can you post another picture sometime of the left side of yours. Thanks.

Is the sporter stock attached anywhere else to the barrel/action other than the two trigger guard screws?

Thanks Dick, you are a wealth of information.

Ok, thanks sdkrag. What is the difference in length between a short stock and a long stock?

I've seen some barrel bands with sling swivels, and some without. Which one is appropriate for a carbine?

Another reason I wanted to disassemble the 1901 rear sight was to tweak the spring that holds tension on the elevation bar, but the closer I look I don't see any way to break it down without possibly...

Thanks 70ish, I thought so. Does anyone have any idea how to disassemble that 1901 rear sight? I have it submerged in a tuna can of Kroil right now to loosen things up. I want to break it down to...

Man there's a lot to this! I've spent half the day so far doing research about correct stocks, forearms & rear sights, constabulary carbines, and on and on... These Krags have a lot of history. I...

JN, cowboy logic works for me! I was able to remove the rear sight this evening after using a little kroil oil. I don't think it's been off the barrel in 100 years! The windage and elevation...

Thanks for that good info! Since I have the carbine 1901 rear sight, would I need the upper handguard that has the "hump" ?

psteinmayer, thanks for the great information and your time to post it. I'm on the hunt for all the parts right now!

That's my plan, to locate a decent used carbine stock or an aftermarket one and make the gun look correct. I installed a new CMP stock on a Garand not too long ago which turned out beautiful, so I'm...

Yes, the rear sight does have a "C" stamped on the side.

Would an 1898 carbine have the 1901 rear sight?

It was late last night and I was excited about this Krag, I should have included more information. The receiver is stamped model 1898, The serial # is 122181, the barrel length is exactly 22" to the...

Hello Krag folks, I have been wanting a 30-40 Krag for a very long time now, and I just purchased one this evening for $60.00! It's not pretty by any means, and it's missing the safety, cut off and...
