Lots of US Krag-Jørgensen rifles have gotten the sportification treatment.
No foul, at one time they were almost cheaper than dirt. No surplus, general issue, rifle is collectable during its initial massive dump on the civilian market.
Many of the sportified guns were well done.
Lots of US Krag-Jørgensen rifles also got the carbinization treatment too.
Foul.
Because Springfield didn't really mark the receivers of the carbines differently from the rifles, a clever and dishonest gunsmith can create a carbine where a rifle once stood.
Some do better than others at it.
One tell is sling swivels. Carbines got a sling bar and ring on the left side of the wrist instead of under the butt and forearm.
Stock rings are completely different between the rifles and carbines.
The sights are different too, but harder to tell apart at a distance.
Be careful out there shopping for a Krag carbine!
