Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Krag-Jørgensen system was invented in 1886 by Captain Ole Herman Johannes Krag of the Norwegian Army and Erik Jørgensen, a Norwegian gunsmith. It was adopted as a standard arm by Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the United States. In 1889, the Danish Army adopted it to replace the Model 1867 Rolling Block rifle. The caliber of the rifle is 8mm x 58mmR, and it has a fixed side-mounted 5-round magazine.
The Rifle M/89 (Gevaer M/89) is one of the several variants made. It is fully stocked, almost to the muzzle, with no top handguard. It features a straight bolt handle and an outer steel liner for the barrel. This weapon is typical of the period, with a long barrel and stock without a pistol grip. Originally, it was issued without a safety catch, and a half-cock notch on the cocking piece/firing pin assembly served this purpose. In 1910, the weapon was modified by adding a manual safety, which was placed on the right side of the receiver, just behind the closed bolt handle.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
