.30-40 Krag

[KahrMan]

Here is a rifle you do not see everyday...A Ruger #3 Carbine in .30-40 Krag.  This was another one of the guns I picked up in the estate sale.  It also came with a letter from Ruger.  This would make a great little deer gun.

Neat.

One of if not THE finest .30 caliber cartridges ever made for cast bullets.  That LONG neck is a real delight to work with if you like to cast your own.  

 

Sweet little rifle.

Sweet little rifle.

I'll agree with that completely. Very nice example of a #3 too.

Nice rifle in a very versatile caliber, I really hated it when Ruger dropped the #3, if you ever decide to part with it you'll be surprised at how fast it goes. I should have bought one when they were still being manufactured.
