The ladder sight has been replaced with a slider type (like a Gew.98 rifle). The stock is not quite half-length but does not run all the way forward and lacks a metal cap. It is a purpose-built carbine, lacking the barrel jacket or a bayonet lug. The Model 1889 Cavalry Rifle was introduced in 1912 after trials with a similar prototype. The rear sight is a flip-up ladder, updated for up to 2, 000 meters. If this safety is present, the gun was updated or post 1910. These included refitting the sights for the new 1908 cartridge and attaching a safety lever on the right side of the receiver, behind the bolt. The 1889/10 is an unofficial collector’s designation for Model 1889 Krags either produced after 1910 or updated to the 1910 changes. Original 1889 rifles are extremely rare as nearly every single one was updated to the 1889/10 pattern. The only safety provided was a half-cock position. It features the distinct Danish jacketed barrel, giving it a thick appearance. The Model 1889 was the first military adopted Krag-Jørgensen rifle. All except the Model 1928 are straight-wrist stocked. Dating a Danish Krag is simple, as the manufacture date is stamped on the receiver and a proof date is set on the barrel. Cocking pieces are also unique as they are shaped as a swoop like the Lebel, instead of the round pull of US and Norwegian Krags. They are chambered for the Danish 8x58mmR cartridge and display Danish crowns on the barrel and, usually, the receiver. Their magazine doors swing forward instead of down. But there were a lot of Krag variants and we’ve covered them here.ĭanish Krags generally feature barrel jackets, making appear much thicker than other Krags. rifles and only occasionally about the Norwegian or Danish versions.

We often think of the Krag-Jørgensen as a series of U.S.
