I would like to rebarral my krag with a cmp compliant barrel. What is the best way to go about doing this? The gun has been sporterized so I don't feel guilty about turning it into a competition rifle.

Welcome to the forums, dude!

I'd say see if you can find a new production barrel that would be compliant, from any of the big name makers, and if not, look for a barrel from another Krag, or a barreled action, and have a gunsmith install it for ya.

One of our members, Mlammers, could probably help you out on this one, he shoots Perry matches and does rifle smithing work.

I have been looking all over for a drop-in, I haven't found one yet. The krag is a bit of a cheater rifle, many of the service rifle classes you have to use their ammo except in the case of krag. And there is nothing like a krag action, smooth as silk.

They sure do feel great to work, yeah.

Maybe you can find a good barrel attached to a junky action, and buy it cheap?
