Interesting rifle. Didn't the Norwegian Krags differ from the American ones in having two locking lugs for the 6.5x55 round?

That is way cool! I'd love to hear more about it and see more pics of it. I've kept my eyes open for a nice old US Krag sporter for some time now. Seems most were converted to single shots or wildcats.

Lovely rifles! Just keep in mind that the Krag actions (the Norwegian at least) is not suitable for the modern pressurized 6,5x55 SM ammunition. I guess its the same with the 8x57 as well, they made a "8x57 Moderat" with a weaker load. There's also supposedly an issue with a change of POI in rain due to the locking lugs not being aligned - or something.

I'm no expert and have never fired a Krag myself even though I got a match version two stories down so take the above with a grain of salt as it's information I "grew up with".

Maybe someone else would correct me?

Lancaster:

Is that last one a single-shot or is there some form of magazine?

Also, every time I see one of these sporters from the pre-WW2 era that has remained in its country of origin, I wonder what its story is, that is, how it was hidden away during the War years or what happened to it during that time.

looks like a single shot to me

not realy bad, other hunting rifles are also single shots and they are good because they are light

Yes it does. lancaster, single shot. Nice rifle! I really like the top one as well.
I've really enjoyed every KragJ I've held and worked the bolt on. Never owned one, though. That makes me feel I've missed a owning a great rifle.

this one looks very german influenced, I think parts like swifels were bought from german dealer. the horn trigger guard is typical Suhl made.
