Section 9: Military Weapons Subject: Krag Action Msg# 1055495

That smooth action is a double-edged sword. Most people comment on the smoothness of the action, and it is undeniable, but the single locking lug, although at the front, kept the Krag from ever being chambered from a more powerful cartridge than the .30 U.S. Army, and forced the U.S. to adopt the M1903 Springfield, a Mauser-based design only nine short years after the issue of the first Krags in 1894.
Still, I want a Krag. I have a weakness for rimmed rifle cartridges. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I got to shoot this rifle many years ago when I met Herb at a local range. Smoothest rifle action I have ever had the pleasure of shooting. |
