Spanish American War Rifles

[callofdutyguy9]

You should feature the USMC Winchester 6MM Lee Navy M1895 Straight Pull

[barccy]

@callofdutyguy9 Do you know of any video of that rifle anywhere (1895 Lee) ?

[2warAbnVet]

The Spanish weren't using 1891 Mausers. That rifle was sold to Argentina, and chambered inr 7.65mm. The Spanish used both 1893 and 1895 Mausers, chambered in 7x57mm.

[zrah1092]

DUMB BLONDE "IS IT LOADED"???

[zrah1092]

[MrOlekul]

KRAG IS NOT A DANISH DESIGNER HE IS NORWEGIAN! FUU** U NOOB!

[gorozon]

and the spanish weapon? i am asking because i read that the Krag  in that war had big troubles against the Mauser 1893 used by the spanish

[cmasailor]

@gorozon I think it was the range of the 7mm Mauser round that was out classing the 30-40US, not the rifle or action. but I could be wrong

[vikingdritt]

get your shit! Ole Herman Krag was Norwegian, not a stupid Dane

[dreamshooter90]

@vikingdritt Don't be rude to the Danes. We love them. =)

[vikingdritt]

@dreamshooter90 Ok. But you see... All the Scandinavian peoples hate each other!! but actually we love each other :P

Rick Pohlers! He was my yearbook staff advisor at Rialto Jr. High and married one of my favorite teachers, Bernadine Brewer!

[MrHipshot64]

I like the guns but I would love to see the blonde up close and talking. She is extremely good looking! Very pretty indeed!

[EnBoksBrus]

I have a rifle that is identical to it. and a rifle from 1823 but I do not know where is from ..: (found it at the cabin ..

[Nanjing03]

I had an opportunity to purchase a very good condition .30-40 Krag service rifle (infantry) for $500. I can kick myself for not getting it, but I had just purchased my third and last M1 Garand and I was saving my pennies for an '03 Springfield in excellent condition. The claim of a "glassy smooth bolt action" in the Krag is true. They were beautifully designed rifles, and until the improvements in the Mauser 93 and the later Mauser 98, the Krag was the best thing going.

[Sturmmann]

i love the whole nostalgic scene lol

[chris7w7]

I like pritey intersting.

[bayyagg]

Spaniards are LOUSY shooters, they got good guns!

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

Too cool, who dosen't like military history. "Rough Riders" is actually a pretty cool movie. I have it on 2 DVDs and I enjoy watching it fairly often. Too cool! Thanks for letting this guy share so much neat stuff.

[coppincopp]

krag have a magazine cut-off at the left.

[Sarcureus]

wasn't Ole Krag norwegian?

[coppincopp]

@Sarcureus yep

[majorporpoise]

Rough Riders were badass.

Theodore Roosevelt best President in history.

[TheBelva85]

SIngle action doesn't mean one round at the time. Cheesy american shit. Costumes suck,

[NamVetBuck]

The blond needs to get featured more !

[BonhommeHero]

yup

[krimkrim8]

it where not made under licens of krag but the norwegian arms manufactor kongsberg, its all norwegian genunine rifle, and it where designed of krag and jørgensen not only krag, i have a norwegian long krag jørgensen 6.5x55mm great rifles truely elegant rifles

[badgerattoadhall]

@krimkrim8 This rifle was only in service (as the m1892) for 11 years before it was started to be replaced by the M1903 and was totally gone by 1907. it was outclassed by the Spanish mauser, and performed poorly in the jungle during the Philippine insurrection

[Clincher8515]

I love that rusty ol' Krag!!!!

[userzaz]

What a clown ignorant

[Zirkalaritz]

loved the very effective against spaniards he he

[ketoujin]

These were not built 'under license at the Frankford Arsenal' they were built at Springfield Armory MA. Frankford Arsenal built ammo.

And yes, Skamsleinen, Ole Hermann Johannes Krag was Norwegian and not Danish though Denmark was the first nation to adopt the Krag design for its military in 1889. Norway adopted the M1894 Krag in 6.5X55mm in 1894-95 and the US adopted the Krag formally in 1892 but production wasn't begun till 1894. These guys get the history mostly right but not everything.

[Fireworks7760]

@ketoujin Norway didn't adopt it, they made it

[yianhernan1991]

Is the firts rifle k98k ?...It look like the german rifle used in WW2 by Germany...

[iamjacksmedulla]

[skamsleien]

gaaaar. The Krag-Jørgensen "Krag" is Norwegian, not Danish!

[telkines]

the reglamentary riffle of the spanish infantry in Cuba was the german-spanish Mauser 98 mm. In Battle of San Juan, Cuba, 1898, 400 spaniards armed with mausers repeteadly rejected the attacks of the 10000 Americans of the Roosevelt´s Rough Riders.

[ramberghini]

They were using model 93's, not 98's. The spaniards did not adopt a 98 until 1943 or so.
