What is the value of a 30 40 krag rifles?

Answer 1

On Vashon Island, WA in the mid nineteen thirties, Dad bartered a

used hand cranked milk separator for a 30.40 Krag and I'm assuming

it was with a Norwegian as we were surrounded. I was somewhere

around 6 years old at the time. I Remember the gun vividly as Dad

kept and hunted with it for years thereafter. He was a sharp

shooter with it. In retrospect, I would guess the swap came to

about $25. We lost it in a fire Jan. 18, 1950. I have no idea of

the shape it was in as I never could hit a thing with it -- but at

a 100 yards Dad, in his prime, could bore a beer bottle cap with it.
