I am nowhere near the big time gun historian, but that’s a very interesting piece. I think I read that Krags were fine rifles.

I believe this is one of 13 Kraq Carbines I examined about 6 months ago. Of those, 3 were serial #'s in the issued rifles to the 1st Volunteer Cavalry, with this one in particular having the best possible verifiable lineage.
The other two were only a few #'s away from this one and not identified to a specific soldier as of that date.

Conditions ranged from good to fair for most of the 13. Bores on all of them was good. Finish 0-10%. Cartouches faded but readable in most cases.

My grandfather went to Cuba with Roosevelt and his outfit did go up San Juan Hill with the Rough Riders, but he was not a Rough Rider. He was with Roosevelt’s Marine Corp Band.

Love the picture of TR and his Rough Riders; very tough looking men.

…a carbine model meant for horse-mounted cavalry use, and as such has a saddle ring mounted to the rifle — one of the last U.S.-made martial rifles to have such a feature.

And the purpose of the ring is precisely what?

[wardaddy]

These models are .30-40?

[Constitution Day]

Ping.

Also, wondering if you read about this notable auction of the "Danish Sea Captain Walker". I watched it online, what a mind-blowing sale price. ($1.84MM!)

Has Ian from Forgetten Weapons” done a piece on it yet?
