That is beautiful! Krags are handsome rifles in military dress but my do they clean up nice.

Thanks, Michael, for posting pictures. I studied this rifle on the internet for two or three days before I recognized what I was seeing. Photos showed just a hint of the small wedge of checkering behind the receiver tang. Once I noticed that, I realized I'd never seen a Sedgley Krag before. It turns out to be quite a nice rifle, aside from the Pacific peep sight. If anyone has a picture of another Sedgley Krag, it would be nice to be able to compare them.

Bill, I believe I have a Lyman 48 base for a Krag, Yours for the shipping if you want it. I will check to be sure.
I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

Sure makes my Stoeger Krag look a bit crude.

just out of curiosity, is this a Jaeger Krag?, it looks the bottom of the cheekpiece is similar to Jaeger rifles, but not the top. Jaeger Krag? sorry to steer this slight off topic

I don't think this could be a Jaeger job. The lines are classic Sedgley, including the schnabel, the somewhat long grip, and the Winchester buttplate. Inside the stock is a stamp HV. Otherwise there aren't marks to indicate whose work it is.

Bill: Easy enough to determine. Jaeger rifles have the initials of the stockmaker Fritz R Voigt and the number for the month and year made [FRV 3-65 for March 1965] under the buttplate or recoil pad.

Jerry, Thanks for the tip. There are no markings under the buttplate. The front sight and barrelband are classic Sedgley details too. Cheers.
