CMP Krags Coming in July

[Fr Mulcahy]

looks like they only have expert garands, 1903’s, 1917’s, 1911’s. Krags start in July. Wonder what the condition will be. Mail order is a gamble

It's a bit strange. For years, they just had Garands and nothing else. I never thought that we would have an opportunity to buy bolt guns again from the CMP, let alone three types at the same time.

Reading about the CMP bolt guns inspired me to take out a few rifles that I picked up over the years and had never fired. The photo is of a ten-shot group at 100 yards for a 1903A3 that I bought from a fellow OSA member a few years ago. I still need to adjust the sights and get some practice in, but I am encouraged by the results so far.

I thought I read mostly field grade but I can't find it now. I think I was on the 1917 page by mistake.

The grades breakdown aren’t known yet per cmp website. But last time they had Krags at cmp south store, they were $1250.

Also current service grades for 1903’s are $950, & service grades for 1917’s are $1100.

Any of those prices for sight unseen are a gamble considering the grading definitions. Service grades quality aren’t what they used to be.
