I never saw my friend's complete rifle, only parts, as bringing firearms into the workplace was forbidden. So I can't say if it was an original as-is military Norwegian Krag or not.
Thanks for the info. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Built as military, but the Scandinavians (especially the Swedes, the ones I'm mainly familiar with), used their military rifles in what we'd think of as DCM/CMP-style matches. In Sweden those rifles were much altered (allowed by the rules), and I have to suppose the Norwegians did the same. And it is likely some of those could have been imported during the boom years of post-WWII through the 60s. I can't help with a photo of an altered Norwegian Krag, but here is a legally altered Swedish Mauser. You can see it has been changed significantly from the original military version. If the Norwegians did something similar, it too could be mistaken for a commercial rifle: Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: CG63  |
