The Krnka M1869 (also called M1867 after the year of design) is a Russian battle rifle. It is a conversion of the muzzle-loading 6-line (15.2mm) M1857 rifle musket into a breech-loading rifle, created by Austrian (Czech) gun designer Sylvester Krnka and produced by Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod. The Krnka rifle was created in 1867 and adopted by the Russian Army in 1869. There were three slightly different versions, converted Infantry and Strelkovaya (Sharpshooter) versions of M1857 and Dragoon M1859. Krnka rifles were widely used in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78. In the 1880s, the Krnka was mostly replaced by the more advanced Berdan Rifle but Russian troops in Central Asia used Krnka rifles even into the 1890s. Krnka rifles were also supplied to Bulgarian and Montenegrin armies. The last known usage of the Krnka was by Bulgarian auxiliary troops in 1915. In Russia, decommissioned Krnka rifles were often converted to hunting shotguns.
