Hello all.
Finally, I got around to take some, not good, photos of my Krag. I got it from my Grandfather, these is the rifle he was issued with in april 1940.
Sadly, I did not ask him about the war. Now it is to late. But, after the war he used the rifle for moose and reindeer hunting. He also used it at some competitions, he did add a peep sight to it. He had several guns, but these one was something special to him, always with the muzzle cap, cleaned it once he got back from the range. Oh, all the questions I wish I had asked him.
Part from the peep sight, the rifle is 100% original, matching numbers.
When I did open the lid on the butt end, the cleaning rope was still there, guess unused. He used the cleaning rod.
Now the rifle is in my home. I love it! I really do. I take the rifle to the range, 3-4 times a month. There is nothing wrong with it`s accuracy, witch can not be sad about the man holding it
There is a club here, for old military rifles, they has to be original, no peep sight and made pre WWII.
I am the only member under 60
Boy, do we have fun, and wow, these old man sure knows how to shoot.
Here are some photos, I will get around to take some better later.
Oh, forgot, the Krag is made in 1901, here in Norway.
