Hi all. I am trying to figure out whether the story in our family of an heirloom is correct. We have an 1896 Kragicon rifle that belonged to a Great Uncle who was a world war I veteran (US Army).

The story is that he had this rifle overseas. I'm not so sure and thought maybe he bought it through the VFW in the 1930s or so. Does anybody know whether any US Army units actually were armed with Krag rifles during World War I.
