KRAG JORGENSEN
The Krag rifle was developed in Norway and first adopted by Denmark. It was standard issue in some form through WWII. For a list of U.S. models and prices see United States, Rifles, Krag Jorgensen. For those collectors who are interested in the Danish Krags, the only major difference, other than caliber, lies in the operation of the loading gate. Prices listed below are for unaltered Danish Krags. The forerunner of the U.S. Krags was the Model 1889 rifle.
NOTE: All Danish Krags are chambered for the 8x58Rmm cartridge.
