A stolen 92/96
I want you guys to just look what that lucky dog madsenshooter just scored: Springfield Model of 1892 (1894 Dated) Krag Rifle : Antiques / pre-1899 at GunBroker.com
This time around, he's already been in touch with the reputable dealer. The bird isn't in hand, but it's official according to auction terms. I hope madsen's grandson learns to appreciate these things! His max bid was $657! I should have registered and topped his bid! Wasn't thnking...
The rifle is 116 years old this month! I can't say for sure, but it appears it may have seen the bluing tank before it got surplused. Madsen has an 1892 handguard, the type that doesn't cover the receiver ring, and I have a use for an orange 1896 handguard, which this appears to have on it. Good deal all around for us!

That is a very nice looking rifle. The '92s have a class all their own.

Thanks to this list I have a bid in on a bubba-job Norwegian Krag of indeterminate caliber. If I get it, that baby is gonna end up 8x57!

very nice catch , these rifles are some of the most interesting in this realm to me , it was a time when springfield armory was not thinking of cheapening operations - these are quality made
