There's been a good deal said about stress fractures in 1894 Norwegian Krag recievers subjected to Swedish Mauser intensity 6.5x55 ammo. A good comparison might be shooting .38-44 ammo through an...
Mine will feed anything, but has always been slightly more accurate with RNs.
Gets better. It is an SRS hit.

I have a better, more plausible story. This rifle was shot through the 1940 season and sold by DCM at the DCM shed at the 1940...

Rack op handle, safety on, try trigger. Safety off, try...
I am new here, but have been around other forums for a while and have been a Krag shooter for 20+ years. Over that time, when somebody gets a Krag, certain questions always pop up and so on Another...
One word: Krag. My very first milsurp. Have had 'er for 22 years and have shot about every kind of 180 and 220 I can make up. Dead accurate, all I have to do to open the bolt is think hard about it...
