MODIFIED KRAG MODEL 1892/94 RIFLE.

MODIFIED KRAG MODEL 1892/94 RIFLE. SN 9769. Cal. 30/40. 23-3/4″ bbl. This rifle has been modified to similar specifications of a Model 1899 Krag Constabulary Carbine. Bbl has been shortened and muzzle turned to 23-3/4″ with the bbl band and front sight assembly being moved back to accommodate a bayonet. All parts of this rifle, with the exception of being shortend, the frontend are orig 92/94 parts, including the bolt, side covers, trigger, mag cutoff and mag door, as well as the rear sight assembly and buttplate. Cleaning rod has also been shortened to the appropriate length to the modification. This modification was done long ago. Their is a good possibility that it was one of the many experiments that were conducted by the Armory or even specific units. As with most military rifles the Krag was no stranger to attempts to modify, improve or shorten it. This is a very early rifle that pre-exists the documented attempts to shorten this rifle, but as with all ideas and prototypes, somebody somewhere had to get the ball rolling, and it is possible that this was one of those attempts. CONDITION: Receiver shows a gray and brown mottled patina with the bolt being also faded to patina with significant dry grease in it. Bbl retains approx 70% of orig finish with some corrosion from the front bbl band forward and below the wood line with blue turning to brown. Front bbl band and bayonet assembly retain approx 75% orig blue turning blue while the rear bbl band shows approx 90%. Model 1892 handguard shows good with mostly light scuffing present and just a couple of small, moderate nicks. Buttstock assembly shows good with only some minor scuffing, though it has an obviously repaired crack on the wrist. Model 1892 buttplate assembly with no trap shows a nice plum finish and is orig. Trigger guard assembly shows approx 60% blue turning brown. Mechanics are good and bore being frosted but with strong rifling. 4-38747 BEK38 (1,000-1,500)
