Different Krag

[GWarden]

Wanted to post about a 98 Krag I picked up several years ago at a gun show, the dealer did not know what he had at all. This is a real unique Krag, has a blind magazine. I know Griffin-Howe did such a modification on the Krags, but this was not done by them. The bore is a truly pristine one. This is one of those rifles that has been used, but not abused, sure would like to hear stories about this rifle. I did refinish the stock and put the Lyman front sight on. Does excellent job with cast, the 311284 bullet. Going to be looking to find a new home for it, the eyes just aren't what they use to be.

Shot 10- 5 shot groups and ended up with a agg for the 10 targets of 1.335", smallest .820 and the largest 2.105"

That is one of the nicest Krag sporters I've seen. I look at those pictures and then at the Krag infantry rifle here on my desk, and have to slap the temptation away!

Appreciate your comments on what is a unique rifle in my opinion. Next couple days I will take apart and post pics of the work on making this rifle. You all have a great day.
