I've been watching this thread to see if you really have turned away from the dark side.
Nice rifle!!

Just for the fun side of things, note the description of uses for the "Russian Springfield Military Rifle" ( or MOSIN) under the Krag.. Obviously the American Legion back then were a tough bunch of Hombres that did not tolerate fools in the organization..
Thanks Mike. Yes indeed! And for the record, I'm not the only one that got an AR *cough* indy *cough*...I've been watching this thread to see if you really have turned away from the dark side.
Nice rifle!!
I'm pretty sure it's been cut down (at least that's what the Gunbroker description said). It does appear to have an original front sight though. The original rear sight was removed and it appears to have been longer than it would have been for a carbine (I think). If it was an original carbine then I got a lot better deal than I thought. Those darn things are pricey!

No way!! If it ain't blue steel and walnut, I just don't get aroused...
Makes you wish you could go back and order some more doesn't it?As Mike's Bannerman Catalog shows they was lots of funky things going on in the milsurp world back in the 1920's......

I hated cramming that cosmoline rag up his snout but between the skin tight t shirt, full arm tattoos, and the Youtube star tactical face twitch going on I knew desperate times call for desperate measures......
I mean who gets full arm tattoos of the Village People????
And no doggydaddy that cowboy may have had Custer's mustache but he was NOT Custer.....And BBI wears a fedora, not a CHIPS helmet....
Hey, I don't have to take this abuse! Okay, maybe I do... but I don't have to like it! But all seriousness aside, you can make fun of my 6 month AR affair, but NEVER associate me with anything even remotely connected to disco. That's hitting below the belt man! And you know how I'm built. Almost any t shirt is gonna be tight.
Somewhat interesting story. (brought to mind by the firing squad use). When my Father was a young man in Richfield Idaho, during deer season he and his brothers would borrow Krags from the local VFW to hunt. (with ammo) The way I understand the story my Great Uncle Jess would kill all the deer and the boys would tag them. Apparently, Uncle Jess was a deer killing machine.

Uncle Jess knew what was up. He used a lever 30/30.Apparently Krags are still popular out west among the elk hunting crowd from what I've read. (Presumably sporterized though)
