New addition to the famiily.

[RickM]

As a result of advice here i turned down a "parade" krag and this one popped up. I would gratefully accept any input on value and condition but to my new to krag eye i think it appears correct and complete..... hope so at least.... it cost me lol. The guy i got it from thinks it was unissued which i doubt but shes still pretty to me.

1901 cartouche - serial 307172. Circle p stamp.... tiny Q stamp under grip behind trigger guard. I have a lot of pictures i can email someone but am limited to posting from my phone so its beyond my limited abities to post them here

[Dick Hosmer]

Congratulations, sounds like a nice one.

And as a certain pig used to say. th-th-th-that's all folks

[Dan Shapiro]

Very nice!

[Dick Hosmer]

Can't be Rick's - no afghan!!!!

Wrong Rick! ANOTHER senior moment!!

[Rick B]

That is really nice and agree I bet it never was issued. I see copper fowling but probably from very few rounds. I would love to find one like that. Rick B

[Pentz]

I agree, would love to find one in that condition. Let us know what the measurements are when you slug the bore.

[jon_norstog]

Wow!!

jn

[JOEZ]

Beauty!

[M2Phil]

Whew! That's nice.

[psteinmayer]

That is one sweet lookin' Krag... Congratulations!!!

[RickM]

Its not gonna be unfired long.... im not a museum and i have long been wanting a krag to use in vintage service match

[Griff Murphey]

A beaut!

[Ken in Iowa]

Excellent piece. Congrats!

[Mark Daiute]

For starters:

Gas checked 311299 cast from air cooled wheel weight alloy. 16.5 grains 4759. Lars' White Label BAC lube. Be prepared to fall in love.

That's my completely unsolicited two cents worth.

Have fun and I can't wait to hear how it shoots!

[psteinmayer]

Heck Mark... I don't fire cast... I only shoot 220 Gr round nose jacketed - and I still fell in love! It's hard to NOT love a Krag, firing any load!!!

[John R.]

Beautiful Krag ! Nicest one I have ever seen in fact.

If it isn't unissued it is as close to it as any of us will see in this lifetime!

Congrats,

JR

[DRAGONFLYDF]

It is a Virgin no more, Rick and I spent the day at the range pissing off the AR crowd by showing them that you don't need a scope to hit the small gong at 200 yards. We took a pair of Krags, a 03, and a Trapdoor.

Rick even bought my dog a Christmas present, a pillow for his kennel, which he had to try out immediately

[psteinmayer]

Call me a troublemaker... but I just LOVE showing up AR shooters with a 115 year old rifle with iron sights!!! LOL

[RickM]

The best was that guy bragging about hitting the same 200yd target with his scoped ar that the krag and trap was hitting.
