Anyone ever put one on a Krag? Specifically a Norwegian. Got one in the process of putting together. Had the barreld action forever and finally doing it. Would think there has to be a way.

This Springfield 1898 in .30/40 Krag belonged to my wife’s grandfather who nicely sporterized it. The barrel has been cut down and re-crowned with a Marble’s No. 3 ivory bead and a Lyman 1A peep sight dovetailed into the bolt plunger. This rifle was manufactured in 1901, and 111 years later I was fortunate to kill two does while stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia. The bolt is glass smooth and since it is in such nice, if not original, condition, I only hunt with it on perfectly dry days.

Very nice. Having a hard time seeing detail. Pic isn't expanding well for me. Was the knob taken off the back to mount the peep?

I would call John McLaughlin (McLaughlin Custom Firearms) and ask him (406-422-0867). I would be surprised if he has not encountered a Krag in the past with his custom made Rigby peep sights.

Man, that looks like the one that I gave Ed B to give away at a forum get together. Krag's have always had the smoothest bolts.
