I love Krags where ever you find them. Did anyone notice that the Krag rifle used in the Foreign Legion movie is equipped with the four receiver parts (side plate with a hole, the brass guide, screw to hold same and a follower with a cut out to clear the brass guide) that lets them shoot the slightly shorter blank cartridges in repeater mode? I just recently was able to find one of the rifles, having owned a carbine version for awhile. There is mention in the second Mallory book that these alterations were done at the Benecia arsenal. The rifle I have is marked with an "S" that stands for a famous old movie prop house, the name of which escapes me at the moment.
