Norwegian Krag Jorgensen 6.5x55 - So... whatcha know?!?
Horse trading for this one tomo. Been sporterized, but not Bubba'd. Looks like original stock cut down to sporter config, rear leaf removed, d&t'd on right side of action and Williams Krag peep sight installed. Recvr date is 1916. Guessing it is a M1912/16 carbine"short rifle". In 6.5x55, so reloading etc is a no brainer for me. Will be the 4th Swede caliber in my safe (Win FW/Custom FN 98/ custom Swede 96/Krag).
I never got into cast for the Mauser Swedes - everything I read said they were than a cantankerous woman! But no recall of anything cast in a Krag 6.5. And not sure I care. As it is, rifle with peeps, prob just load jackets in 140-160 and punch paper and thump anything in my woods with four legs out to 125ish yds (long short normally).
