Photos of my Krags

I have one I haven't looked at in a long time, it's in 6.5x55, I was told it was for the Norwegian Army.

Yes that would be Norwegian.

Your divorce of that rifle would certainly be beneficial to the sister swedes (1899 and 1900) happiness while imprisoned in the safe. And a fine stable acquisition for me.

Haha, I'd maybe consider it, don't sell too much stuff, I'd need to figure what its worth. I used to shoot it some but always loaded cartridges a little light, I have shot is with shells I bought as well but usually loaded for it. 6.5x55 is my favorite cartridge, that's why I bought it.

I learned to reload for the Krag. As was mentioned lead bullets with gas checks that thing would shoot and with jacketed bullets was accurate but could kick like a young mule When loading the heavier bullets. Have to laugh still have all that reloading stuff

Thanks, I'm not sure about the current price as I acquired that one in 2011.
