Krags show up in the original King Kong movie. I watched a grade B Vietnam War movie a few years ago and one soldier is using a Hi Point carbine, when a lot of movies are made they use any type of prop gun that they can get their hands on

A lot of Boomer era TV and movies had such little attention to detail that they become almost unwatchable. Already mentioned but The Good The Bad and The Ugly is a prime example.

Unrelated to the OP but some might appreciate this sporterized Krag. A buddy of mine picked up recently and sent pics.

I recently saw Klemperer on an early Gunsmoke. Hardly any German accent.

John Wayne's gang used Krags in "The Fighting Seabees", too. I think the "Japanese" troops did, also. There were probably shortages of everything during that time, and they "made do" with whatever sorta looked like the appropriate weapons.

The German guards are totin krags. I wonder how many surplus krags were used as movie props. I need to shoot my Springfield some.



That actually was a Danish or Norwegian Krag confiscated after Denmark or Norway was occupied and reissued to third line troops like POW camp guards.

I knew some WW2 history geek would come up with a solution!

In Sept 2019 I restored a Krag and made a non invasive scope mount.

In Sept 2019 I sporterized a Krag to 25 Krag Ackley and painted my Bartlein barrel.

Owning a beauty like that, would be reason enough to buy 30-40 Krag dies.

Many black powder revolvers (NOT muzzle loaders) were converted to cartridge firing, very common, still available today on the replica market and in demand by Cowboy Action shooters.

I must have seen every episode six or seven times. Maybe more like ten.
