Yep, very nice furniture.HA, I was hoping to see that KRAG Again! Man, what a sweet heart you have there Bear, and thanks for posting it up! Drool Worthy!
The real secret of the Spanish Mauser wasn't so much the bolt as the stripper clip. Americans were fumbling around with loose rounds when reloading while the Spanish were clip, strip, and shoot.Krags are magnificent machines made to the highest standards of workmanship. The 30-40 caliber is very good but was outclassed by the 7X57 during the Spanish/American war so quickly fell out of favor through no real fault of it's own. The action is labor intensive to manufacture and more intricate than Mausers of the day so they were soon replaced by a Mauser patent infringing clone.....the 1903 and later 1903A1. The difference in cartridge encouraged the USA to surplus the rifles instead of storing them as War Readiness weapons like we did with later Springfield's and Garands that we see coming out of the CMP these days. These rifles have a wonderful heritage whether as an original or sporterized. They were very popular elk rifles in the days when 30-30 was a serious big game rifle.
Or a 303 BritI wonder how many of us got to hunt our first time with a hand me down Krag loaner! My uncle had that rifle and every one of us got schooled early on with it, and most of us took our first deer with it! Back then, it was considered the new guys rifle for the sake of power and recoil! Little did most folks realize just how good these really were!
