Krag-Jørgensen 0-600$

[NorthHistory]

Some give their Krag away, but everything from 100$, to 1000$ for a real nice one from the late 50', or early 60', in .308 NATO, made by Kongsberg Våpen Fabrikk.

There are several too chose from, "Lang Krag" most common military Krag.

M/1895, M/1897, M/1904 M/1906, M/1907 cost a lot more, and only collectors have them.

How you can import them I don't know, but if you really want a Krag now is the time to buy, and ask US customs about import.

here is a list of military Krag Models:


Gevær M/1894 (Lang-Krag)
Karabin M/1895 for kavaleriet
Karabin M/1897 for bergartilleri/ingeniørvåpenet
Karabin M/1904 for ingeniørvåpenet
Guttekarabin M/1906
Karabin M/1907 for feltartilleriet
Karabin M/1912
Skarpskyttergevær M/1923
Skarpskyttergevær M/1925
Skarpskyttergevær M/1930


M/1894 Rifle
M/1895 Carbine
M/1897 Carbine Mountain-artillery-weapon, or Engineering-Weapon.
M/1904 Carbine Engineering-Weapon
Boy's Carbine, M/1906. The Swedish-Norwegian Union ended after 91 years in 1905, because the king had broken the Norwegian constitution. The Norwegian parliament declared the king unconstitutional, and no longer relevant. After a referendum about independence from Sweden, 85% turnout, only 184, or 0,06% voted against, 368 208 voted for independence. This angered many Swedes, and the Nationalistic/Patriotic Norwegian parliament had many plans for defending national independence. Training young boys to shot was logical, but short lived because everything calmed down quickly on both sides.
M/1907 Carbine Field-artillery
M/1912 Short Rifle
M/1923 Sniper Rifle
M/1925 Sniper Rifle
M/1930 Sniper Rifle

I hope I helped someone.

Thanks NorthHistory, and Welcome to the forum.

I, for one, do not intend to try to import anything; maybe others will be more interested.

I know everyone would be interested in your insight, and of the history of these rifles.

And everyone love pictures.

Take care.

I would love to have an original Norwegian Krag! You see very few of these in the US, most of the ones I've seen have been sporterized.
I have imported rifles from Europe, time consuming, you need a dealer in the US who is an importer. I think the one I used has gone out of business??
Anyway, welcome to the forum, I'm jealous of your Krags!

Shouldn't be much of a hassle to import a pre-1898, as they are classified as antiques. But I can't say I've tried. Probably take a ream of paperwork.

It "shouldn't" be a problem but I recall a shipment of flints got held up because they were implements of war.

Even the the later civilian Krag in .308 Nato? In the land of the 2nd amendment?

I've got a fairly nice M1889. They are really neat CB rifles, 8mm and you can make the brass out of 45-90 pretty easy.

Your list is a very nice selection.
