I have not seen Muledeer's article on the Krag. I saw it was listed in the table of contents in one of his "Gun Gack" books. I hope to purchase the book eventually. I will have to look through my pile of "Rifle" magazines and see if I have it.

I still have my father's old Krag sporter. He bought it from the NRA as I recall sometime in the early 1930s for $4.25. Still shoots quite well.

Biebs- that is what started my enjoyment of the Krag-except mine was my Grandfather's. When I got mine, the loading gate spring had broken and the gate would not "snap" closed. Pretty easy fix I was able to do and found quite a few parts still available. Later I bought an action from Gary and a barrel and stock elsewhere. Now, all my Krags are non-original sporters which is what I decided I most wanted.

In the land of dopey dreams
Happy pretty Phillipines
Where the bolo man goes running night and day
Where talagos steal and lie, and Americanos die
And our soldiers they all sing this happy lay!
Damn, damn, damn the filipinos
Cross-eyed khakiac ladrones
And beneath our starry flag
Civilize em with a Krag
And return us to our own beloved home
Underneath the nippa thatch where the skinny chickens scratch
Only refuge from the hot sun all day long
When I lay me down to sleep slimy lizards or’ me creep
And our soldiers they are sing this happy song.
Refrain
Social graces they are few and the women smoke and chew
And the the men do things the Padres say are wrong
But they Padres cut no ice for they feed on fish and rice
And our soldiers they all sing this happy song
Refrain
Whew!!!!!! All from memory!!! Roninphx likes it when I sing it to him while at the SW gathering!! LOL

That top one I gave to Rockinbbar. I felt he needed it! 😉
After all, He did give me a nice new Husqvarna garden tiller.

Looks like one to treasure. Honest looking Krag there.

Finally got a chance to shoot this one. functions and feeds perfectly ( I always marvel at te Krag magazine) but my eyes are so bad I can't hit a bull in the ass with open sights.
I may check in to scoping it or may just sell it to someone with good eyesight.

Will scoping a Krag decrease its value?
Those who would disrespect our flag have never been handed a folded one.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
