I have the short calvary carbine that my father bought in East Stroudsburg PA. for $5 out of a barrel in the local hardware store. Still have it and LOVE IT!!

I have an 1894 NRA sporterized my dad bought in 1962.

What happened to "Gun Jesus"?

Smokeless powders that is equivalent to 40 grains of black powder.? That is what I’ve always been told. The Krag had the best rear sight I’ve seen on any rifle. I absolutely love it.

Every time you called it a "Model 1898 Krag Rifle" was like nails on a chalkboard. You lost all credibility. They are US Springfield rifles...Models 1892-1898 Springfields to be exact. Made at the Springfield Armory. Krag was the nickname.

I have an 1898 rifle and 1898 that was sporterized into a carbine (both of which I got at RIA), but I've never learned more about old rifles than taking them apart, cleaning them, and putting them back together again. That's including taking apart my 1903 and putting it back together again. Other than being in .30-40 Krag, I couldn't recommend a Krag more. Then again, if you're looking for a practical bolt action, maybe a Krag wouldn't be your first choice anyways.

I inherited a 1895 carbine s/n 2971

That Carbine is so cool, what a modern innovation for the time. I am sad that these didn't hang out in service longer.

I know this is isn’t forgotten weapons but I have a 1894 marked sn 5025. The barrel length is 28” and has been turned down for the 1905 bayonet, as well as sporting a 1901 sight. It also sports a 1898 cartouche on the stock. Sadly it has been cut up into a deer rifle at some point. Do I have a thrown together krag or perhaps a battle field rifle that was updated after stock damage or such?

Pity more RD wasn't done on that magazine system

Love my '96 Springfield Krag carbine! Smooth as a Krag! Not only America's first smokeless but our first bolt action and first full metal jacket. The Pederson Device was the stripper invented for it. Run and Gun did an episode where the Krag carbine without any stripper beat out the K98!

My older brother has our Great grandfathers Krag from Cuba, he was a Major in the Ohio National Gaurd. We used to shoot it with our dad when we were kids, long, long ago, l haven't even seen it for 30 years.

I have a nice 1896 Pray rifle with matching year bayonet , scabbard and frog. The only thing is you can barely read the cartouche. I don't think you showed an 1896 unless I missed it? Thank you.

Great hunting rifle

What about the krag 1898?

Are there any site where I could check the serial # on my Krag. It’s a 1898 with a five # serial

I have a 30 40 1895 lever rifle serial number 19485 so built in 1898.

Me wanty!

Someday I'd like at least one Krag from each country: Denmark, United States, and Norway.

I would like to owen a kreg rifle
