Hello Gents, I have been reading through here quite a bit and decided I should join up again ( I was a member here about 8-10 years ago) as I have recently been bitten by the Krag bug. What got it started was a conversation with a coworker about a Krag he had. All parties thinking it was a sportered rifle. Well after making the deal it appears to be an actual 1896 Carbine. I will post some pictures and would appreciate any info provided, particularly as it appears that some members still have access to SRS information. Serial # is 77250. The stock is completely unsalvageable. So basically what I have is a barreled action missing the rear sight and the safety on the bolt. All other parts will need to be searched for. Please let me know what you think. I think it is a restoration candidate. The bore is nice, given the rust on the outside I was surprised by that.


Remember she is rough, but restoration has already begun..........
