Talk:Krag-Jørgensen

I love these guns. They could have been great but they just came out in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are accurate, smooth, and very pleasant (recoil wise). All the ones I own are sporterized (who ever decided to chop off half the wood on classic military arms to make them useful for sports should be shot.) The value is taken down FAR more when people do this. I have a '92 and a 98'. -GM

The Krag you posted as a Danish Krag is a US Model, the Danish 1889 looks VERY different - it has a steel tube around the barrel, no handguard, and the loading gate pivots to the front instead of the side. Looks like thats a Model 1898 with the 1901-type sight. - Nyles

Help me out here and post a picture of a real Danish Krag. I photographed THAT gun from a rack of Krags and that was on the tag, so it may have been misidentified. It was chambered in the original Danish Caliber, so what do you think it is? Thanks for your expertise in this matter. I am no expert on Krags so I just write what is on the paperwork (but I admit that some of these 'collections' have their guns misidentified. Thanks again. ) MoviePropMaster2008 00:04, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

BTW I changed the description back to what was on the gun's TAG until verified. But I welcome corrections with backup to all pages on the site :) MoviePropMaster2008 00:06, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

There you go, Danish Krag. If you really doubted me, seriously, 2 minutes on google. - Nyles
