A fellow sent me a Norwegian Krag barreled action recently. Turns out it's a Stomperud Krag, made during the nazi occupation. The fellow I got it from just told me his dad paid $10 +$4 shipping for it back in 61. The barrel looks brand new, the boltface shows no sign of ever having a cartridge in it. I noticed that the bolt bears on the guide rib, but also bears on the root of the bolt handle, unlike a 1916 made receiver I have. The receiver is a Steyr, and I can see the remains of a 7, so an 1897 made receiver. The stock I already had, picked it up from ebay to use on a .243 Norwegian project that I have going. Had a little rust in the bore, but I didn't get any dissolved powder residue on the patch. Nice shiny and new looking now! I need a front sight, tried one from an AG42, but the dovetail is too wide and the adjusment screw too big.
