I should have better pics up tomorrow. I had a bunch taken, but can't find where I saved them so fresh ones tomorrow are apparently in order. Receiver is dated 1894, so this is a non FFL item and can be shipped direct to many (most?) states.

This was someone's old deer rifle for a great many years. Carbine length, nice action. I haven't fired it since I misplaced the ammo that I bought for it.

Since it was made before my Great-Grandmother was born, I have no idea of the round count and am not the original owner.

More information: stamped on the side s "U.S." above "Springfield Armory". Action says 1894, but according to this link http://www.docstoc.com/docs/65...-KRAG-serial-numbers the serial number (14062) was made in 1895.

More pics, old J.C. Higgins pad that needs replacing, woodwork, etc. I'm assuming this to be a reblue at some point in its life. Ancient, highly adjustable, Redfield peep sight, currently set at about 75 yards by the looks of it.


























$375 plus actual shipping or trade for...???

Things I'm particularly looking for:
Ruger Six Series Snub (pref. .357 mag and stainless)
K frame shooters (snub or otherwise, particularly a Model 15)
J frames
Other mfg (Colt, Charter, High Standard even) snubs
AR Parts kit
Interarms or Manuhrin (sp?) PPK
SKS rifle

I need another Krag like I need a tail. Hope someone buys this before I give in.

In the meantime, can you tell me about the bore?

Any pitting, frosting, etc.? Rifling good or ...?

Thanks,

Bob

I can't find which drawer my bore light is in. Shining my Surefire knockoff down it I'm seeing that it needs a good cleaning, but that the rifling seems to be strong and in good condition. I'll try to run some patches down the barrel tomorrow. It was still being fired with either commercial ammo or reloads until a couple of years ago when the prior owner in Wisconsin (who was in his 80s or 90s) had to give up hunting and go to a rest home. He sold it to another older fellow who then sold it to me.

I should add that the rifle could also use a new recoil pad since the one on it looks to be rather older and has turned hard and started to crack.
