The Krag-Jørgensen Model 1896. We started out with some 60+ year-old ammo and got some hangfires.

Sweet rifle.

ok just wondered. the ø doesnt eksist in english speaking countrys so how could you write the title

[thernlund]

@agentkapser I'm not sure I understand the question. Just write an O with a slash through it (ø).

[agentkapser]

@agentkapser i mean on english keyboards i think there not is a ø like there not is a Å and a Æ

[thernlund]

@agentkapser Oh. I see. I used the Character Map in Windows for ease of use. But you can use a keystroke. The keystroke is Alt+0248.

that ammo been sitting around for awhile also the powder is most likely decaying. I have to call one thing out is that was not the full length barrel, it was cut down a lot by people who owned that rifle. I know this because, i own one. It is a great collector item and hunting rifle.

@lovejen01

He said as much about the barrel length in the video.

@agentkapser instead of just writing a "o" as a substitute, we danes who invented æ,ø and å recommend this

æ = ae

ø = oe

å = aa

for an example krag joergensen

@chauchat3137 Nope, this rifle was made at Springfield Armory in Massachusetts.

[chauchat3137]

now was this made in denmark? this particular model you are holding?

[JESSERL]

@Vnix Ridiculously old ammo that spent a few decades stored in an equipment shed in Idaho.

[Fireworks7760]

@agentkapser You can find øæå on the internet you know

[Vnix]

right, so why did this rifle fail again?

[DeanMLFlame]

anyone ever notice that the 30-40 cartridge is 95% identical to the 303 British...Shoulder angle, neck length and .308" versus .311" I think we tried to copy it.

Loved my REAL Krag-Jorgenson Carbine used same as the Rough Riders used. Mine just keeps going "bang,click clak, bang, click clak" and my rounds are mostly all the way from Norway and have 2 boxes of military surpluses. I also have a speed loader box which cuts down the reloading speed to the same of a stripper clips used in my SMLE No.3.

well ur grandfather did nice job but still would want a full carcno stock but still how is it shooting

[JESSERL]

@kullas924 The barrel and stock on this one were cut down from a full rifle length gun by my great grandfather.
