1. Anybody got one? If so are the worth collecting?

[Schuetzenman]

Sure they are worth collecting. Not cheap I might ad.

1. show me a picture of a actual one if you got one. Ive only see drawings in books. I think that it will be my next long range aquisition.;)

Sorry I don't have one nor a good pic of one. Humm . . . where to find a picture. You might be able to put Crag Jorgenson rifle in a search engine and come up with a collectors forum. Sometimes Scott Duff had them on his web site. Let me go there and see if I can find a link to post for you. They come in rifle and carbine length.

Nice pics Zouave are they all from the Krag collectors site or do yo own any of them? I didn't know what these things were worth but going on to Duff's site they are about $690 to $1800 depending on the model and condition.

So now I know about another type of rifle that is in all practical terms outside my ability to collect it due to price! :( (Sigh)

Nope not mine. The big pictures came from the Krag site, the smaller one came from another link.

I had a chance to buy a 30-40 Krag back in '84, back then I thought the $100 the guy was asking was way out of line.

Silly me......
