Picked up my Sgt. Shultz gun

Melnic · Nov 15, 2020

So Sgt Shultz on Hogans Hero’s carries. Krag and not a K98k. There are various reasons why sited. Most popular seems to be he did not want to carry something genuine Nazi German.

So I have been looking for a Springfield Krag for years now that had a good bore and a fair price. Found one today at Timmonium.

Even found some 30-40 Krag (not so friendly price) so drove by AGC on the way home. It was shooting this ammo high and left. But once I figured where it was hitting I could mail the steel every time. That’s all I ever ask for in most of my milsurps.

Nice!

A 96 to boot. Nice grab!
I think its the 94 or 92 rear sight that you can get that;s windage adjustable.
That way you wont have to hunt up another hand guard if you want to swap it over.

I sold my nice one but still have the Bubba, fantastic shooters and using a 150 gr bullet it approached a 308 round. Almost identical to the 303 Brit. Should I ever sell it I'll make you a deal on dies and brass. Noticeably less recoil IMO.

Since I mentioned brass.... 30/40 seems to stretch out quicker than most I've reloaded for.

That's a great find!! I've been watching clips of Hogan's Heroes this past week.
It really was a great show!
I've often wondered how Hogan had his flight cap, nice jacket, etc., if he was a captured pilot?

Nice find.

I'm glad you know that was mandatory.

Very nice! Krags are one of my favorite shooting guns. I keep thinking of divesting my stare and then change my mind.

"Veerry Interesting" story about the Krag on Hogan's Heros. Arte Johnson approves.

Squaregrouper · Nov 15, 2020

It looks correct to me. I have 2 things I would like you to check:
1- On the stock's left side (2 o'clock from the trigger guard) there will be a proof mark "JSA 1896" if the stock was original to the rifle. If it was a factory SA restock, it will have a serif "P" behind the trigger guard
2- What is the rear sight graduated to, 18 or 20 with a "C"? (This is a longshot, but it is not unheard of for '96 rifles to have a '96 carbine rear sight.)

Melnic · Nov 15, 2020

Yea
It’s a restock , one of the first things I looked for. has the (P) on the bottom

Rear sight goes to 18
I don’t see a C on it anywhere

Sgt Shultz also used an '03. Start looking! Kids watch it every week on rabbit ear tv.

Straight from the *gun show table* to the range.

I don’t think I ever pulled that off, unless maybe it was with an ammo purchase, I’m almost certain never with a new-to-me firearm ...

Straight from the *gun show table* to the range.

Somehow, on some level, I feel certain that should be “a thing.”

Certainly a sign of living life, right!

Sullllll-loot!

OMG! I've watched just about every episode of Hogan's Heroes and I've never noticed he carried a Kragg. <hanging head in shame>

Forgive me father for I have sinned.

I never noticed either, well most of the years I watched the show, I was not a collector. I was searching for something on IMFDB, then took me to Hogan's Heros, then scrolled the entire page and when HUH? Then looked into it more.

"Civilize 'em with a Krag!"

Do you know the song? Apologies to any who might be offended.

A high percentage of Allied POWs were air force.

Wasn’t Air Force- it was Army Air Corps, USAF was founded post WWII. My wife’s Grandfathwr was a USAAC POW for over a year.
