Excellent review!

Fifty years ago I handled a sporterized rifle. You have to handle one to realize how slick the action is. Unfortunately at the time, money was not available for toys. It would have been fun later when I got involved in Service Rifle competitions.

A great minutes of eye pleasing content.

Its a great rifle, really. Light weight, good cartridge, smooth action, accurate. Just great package deal.

It reminds me of an old Bridgeport Milling Machine or a Monarch Lathe for some reason. Looks heavy, but really, really well made

Alot of Norwegian krags were rechambered for .22 for indoor target shooting, although quite rare outside of Norway i'm afraid

@Kaboomf

Жыл бұрын

That's what was commonly done on high round count receivers of questionable safety, after wearing out umpteen barrels. The .22 conversions are single shot, no magazine. They're simply made by having the rimfire bore offset at an angle, it exits the muzzle centered but at the chamber end it is off center in the upwards direction. This makes the standard extractor grab the rim at the 12 o'clock position, while the centerfire firing pin strikes the rim at 6 o'clock. No changes to the bolt face needed. The firing pin needs to be shortened a bit so it won't strike the chamber mouth if dry fired, is all. Some Krags were modified to .22 while still in good condition, but like I said this was often seen as the best choice for worn out guns that had setback locking lugs and wouldn't hold headspace with full power ammo any more. Therefore, it's not a good idea to "un-bubba" a .22 Krag back to 6,5 even though the bolt and receiver appear perfectly normal.

How do 20 people come here and decide they don't like this?

No bayonet lug? Not a problem as the cavalry always carried their swords with them. Isn't this who the carbines were created for initially? And if the enemy is that close with the other troops that needed a carbine-sized rifle, you have bigger issues than a bayonet would fix.

There were two versions of the 1895 carbine, differing in sling swivel placement. A Cavalry version and an Engineer version (not sure but I think artillery also used the Engineer carbine?).

I had one of these years ago, the trigger was very nice and the action was like glass, but the stock was cut behind the barrel band and the barrel was shot out. It's too bad, 6.5x55mm is an excellent cartridge, and a small, light carbine chambered for it would be wonderful

During the Union, not ecen Sweden adopted it. Instead a licensed Mauser was chosen.

So do you call it 6.5 Norwegian instead of 6.5 Swede because of the mandatory downloading of the charge? Similar to the relationship between .38 ACP and .38 Super?

Looks like a nice hunting rifle too.

Good Deer & Elk rifle's!

I would like to see that rifle system updated to receive proper clips. Would make a very respectable rifle for sure.

They had them. Parkhurst clips were trialed in combat in the Philippines. They didn’t satiate the Army’s desire for a new cartridge, though.

Did Norway not come up with a clip loading system for this rifle. The loosy one by one round thing seems like a cumbersome story. There was probably a huge load of unfired cartridges lying on the ground after any battle.

@Kaboomf

Speedloaders were developed, but only for competition use. To see how these were used, and some impressively fast shooting, search for "stang skyting" here on KZread. There's some older clips floating around from when the Krag was still common in matches.
