Canadian Krag-Jorgensen collectors???

[gravis]

I had a very nice, almost excellent condition Norwegian 6.5x55mm Steyr 1897 built Krag rifle with original issue sling. I sold it awhile ago on the EE.

Here are some pictures of it -

Pic's no worky ?

That 1903 is the manufacture date. It is an 1896. One of the converted sporters made up for the Canadian market. For some reason, 6.5x54MS was easier to get at the time than 6.5 Swede. Go Figure. I got rid of mine as it would keyhole and had about a 6' group @ 100 yars.

Thanks for the Id

Wow 6' group at 100 yds is like minute of elephant! I've snagged a half box of imported German shells silver jacketed none the less... Time to cut 'Er loose then lol ! Would anyone venture a range, reasonable ask/list price ? I definitely overpaid... I thought it was a MS sporter going by the 'ol LGR certificate

Question now, who hunts with their's?
OP, deviating from the original thread...please forgive me.
I have taken mine out, it's marvelous to carry and shoot...no luck though.

Some food for the thread...

Steyr made Norwegian.

I would hesitate to pay over $175 unless the bore was pristine. I know they are asking over 200 these days but I don't know if they are selling at that.

I'm not into reloading and don't have room for wall hangers so guess I'll put her up for trade and see what trolls along !

6.5x54ms is available. Just not very common

Any of you interested ? Here's a pic of the bore with 3 swipes of a bore snake

A Krag is definitely on my list. No luck grabbing one yet

This one came from way up in the NWT some place. Was found above the treelike in an abandoned hunting shanty 60 odd years ago
