Remington or S.A. which do I choose??

By the way, your 1898 Krag is an easy fix too if and when you decide to reassemble it to original specs as per the rifles issued to the 26th US Vol. Infantry. All of the correct parts can be found on eBay.

As the saying goes when it rains it pours! In this case its a good thing 3 projects at one time that's just how the opportunity presented itself and who am I to argue . I am building my way up to restoring that Krag I think it deserves to be fixed.

I think this one is correct????

[Fred]

Yes, it is. Even the slide tightening knob is correct for 1922 I do believe. However somebody else can verify that or correct me for you.

[Rick the Librarian]

The rear sight has been refinished to WWII specs. Don't know if that makes a difference or not to you.

[Fred]

Can I just put you on retainer??

I would be only too happy to let you know where and when I locate each needed part of your Krag for you to correctly put it back into configuration of what the 26th received in 1899. They will be found on eBay or Gunbroker or S&S Firearms or J.D.Christopher's
Also, you will not need to pay me a dime for anything I find in the box and forward to you on that rifle. Thanks for offering though.

Rick knows what he is talking about!

The bolt could be a double heat treated one with a stamping of WL and 3 on top of the bolt handle.

Go to this site below and click on it. It's the only place you can find this information.

The bolt has the WL and the 3 it also has a slight curve or bend to it is it supposed to be that way?

[Rick the Librarian]

Yep!

That help would be fantastic! I cant thank you enough

Thanks Rick, I guess since I don't know if that makes a difference it doesn't?

I guess I should ask....... would you put that sight on that gun?

[Rick the Librarian]

Sight? I thought you were asking about the bolt!

[Discus420]

The rear sight has been refinished to WWII specs. Don't know if that makes a difference or not to you.

I was asking about the sight if is it correct for that gun. The finish looks very black not like the rest of the gun is that what you mean by WW2 finish??

[Discus420]

I think I found a stock that would be proper for the 1922 Springfield can you please tell me if I am mistaken??

You are mistaken.
If you look at the photos of my 1920 NM rifle that I had referenced in an earlier post as having a similar type of stock and hand guard, you will notice that the stock on my rifle has Grasping Grooves.
You can put anything on it that you'd like of course.
