Krag Safety

**bacsi196** · 04-11-2009 10:38 AM

Looking for some help, I picked up an 1898 krag rifle that had the safety missing . The safety that I purchased does not have a detent ball or a place for one. Do I have a Krag icon

safety ? It locks the bolt in the fire position it falls out when the bolt is worked ?

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.

You have a safety for an M1892. This early version had no spring loaded ball. One for an M1896 or later Krag icon

will work.

Good luck.

I also have an 1898 that was missing the safety leaf. i bought one from S&S. I believe it is a reproduction. i had to do some fitting and filing, but it works and looks correct.
