Seeking Drawings for Krag 22 caliber rifle

Where can I find dimensional drawings for Krag 1898 22 caliber rifle (also known as Springfield Model 1898 Krag Gallery Practice Rifle)? I would like to make a part for this historic weapon. All assistance appreciated.

Dear Mr. Anderson,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located two series titled Letters Received, 1813-1897 and Reports of Tests of Ordnance and Proceedings of the Boards Making the Tests, 1864-1905 in the Records of the Office of the Chief of Ordnance (Record Group 156) that may include information about Krag-Jorgensen rifles. For access to these series, please contact the National Archives at Boston (RE-BO) via email at boston.archives@nara.gov.

For possibly drawings of Krag-Jorgensen rifles, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Cartographic (RDSC) via email at carto@nara.gov.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
