    Krag Shooting Picture

    Don't know if this is real, it would appear so. Thought it would be appreciated here.

    American soldiers w/ their Krags stand in a trench on the lookout for Filipino guerrillas in 1899 during the Philippine–American War [2992 x 3000]

      Great picture! The spotter doesn't seem too concerned. The second guy has his muzzle nearly in the dirt.

                  Likely posed but considering the VERY slow film speeds, posing was the only way to get a decent picture. Early action shots were blurred very badly.
