Krag from Norway

**Brewster** · 12-11-2006 09:53 PM

So who knows if a stock for a US Krag icon

will fit a Norweigan Krag....

I see Boyds has a US Krag stock. I'm looking at starting to restore a Norweigan Krag...

Anyone..?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Sorry B, I'd help if I could - but I don't know! How about a firm "maybe?"

It won't fit any Norwegian icon

Krag

model 1912/16, as that was the carbine. I take it you are thinking of converting a Norwegian 1894 with one of the Springfield stocks? For that, I dunno.

**Brewster** · 12-20-2006 09:02 PM

Yes it is the Norwegian icon

Carbine..

The lower rifle.

The 1912/16 model is what I am hoping to restore to...

Here's a shot of my Norwegian icon

Kongsberg, 1912/16 with full original military wood and parts. It was re-named the 1916 with the addition of the nose band put on the front foreend that was used to strengthen the wood.

The Kongsberg 1894 bayonet is under the foreend.

But as you can see it is unlike anything that the US/Springfield put out. Therefore again, I think you may be SOL for trying to use a sporterized Norwegian Krag icon

and converting it back somewhat to a military look.
But stranger things have happened. Good luck and keep us appraised.

If there is any other pic I can get for you in order to assist, please ask away.

Yes, Koldt I agree.

I'll have to try and find original wood....and metal.

**Claven2** · 12-21-2006 07:52 AM

Maybe Koldt will sell you his?

Maybe

It only took me about 10 years to find, and then the goofy import stuff from Virginia to North Dakota, to Montana, and finally to me. Of course everyone wants their cut along the way too. What started off as stupid expensive money, turned really ugly by the time it was on my door step.

Don't want to make this sound tooooo bad but, lots 'o luck.

It more rare than a Liberal with a brain.

And yet the sportered ones are practically EVERYWHERE...
