Had another Krag fall into my lap this morning. It's a M1898 infantry rifle cut down to carbine dimensions. Kinda ho-hum, but this one was "sporterized" by Sedgley, probably sometime in the early-mid 1920's. When the gov't released all Krags from service, Sedgely bought a bunch and converted them into hunting rifles. This appears to be one of them, going by the Sedgely trademark on the barrel. What's interesting about this particular one is that it sports a Carbine rear sight. Score! The sight is worth almost as much as what I paid for the gun. (Carbine sights are quite rare and command a premium among people who collect such things.)

Bore is perfect, and the front sight is contained by a band, another trademark of some early Sedgelys (and no, the band isn't an '03 Springfield sight band). Can't wait to shoot it.
