Michael,
Yours (the first pic) is nice, very serviceable. I like.
Are the engraved ones yours also?

The last photo is certainly a very nice classic rifle. Do you have a photo of the other side?

#3 is certainly a winner. I don't care for all the engraving on #2, but that is just a matter of personal taste.

Michael, I have been meaning to swap out the cracked bolt in my 96. Will a stripped 1896 bolt work for your test?

The first picture is the only Krag I own. When I find a nice Krag I let our friend and Krag-Sporter collector Mark Benenson know about it.

Unfortunately Mark is under the weather and may not be reading these post.

#2 is a rifle that is a brother rifle to a 1903 I own and I have been looking for it for some time.

The owner of #3 I think, reads these forums so he may or may not post info.

No. 2 & 3 were both made by the same folks.

I think a 96 bolt will work, I'll check.

I think we, as Americans, can be proud of the arms that our government deemed fit to issue us when we served.I am totally in awe of the strength of the Krag that Michael tested.

Please remember that this was only one (1) krag and we should not read a lot into the test other than understanding how the rifle was designed.

I was also involved (an accomplice)to the testing to destruction of a 45-70 Trapdoor and I WILL NEVER PUBLISH THAT TEST! This was also a test of only one action and I could not believe what it took to destroy it.

It is nice to know that when you use common sense and the proper ammunition that the gun is not going to take your head off. There was talk of dropping C4 booby trapped ammo for the ak into the hands of the vc when I was in vietnam. I always wondered if any actually was made and planted. That would have been an interesting "blowup" test.
