I'm curious as to the availability of Norwegien or Danish Krags out there. I've never owned one and they have my attention somewhat. I just got into the Swedish Mausers and thought maybe I need a Norsk Gun too. BUT.. are they more rare and spendy???

Yep, they are both more rare and spendy, unfortunately.
I've never had a Danish, but have owned and shot a Norwegian 1894 long rifle (made for them by Steyr) over twenty years. Plan on spending roughly a $1,000+ for a good 1894 model . The 1912 short rifle and the Danish 1889 model are in the $600-900 range. Watch good auction sites like Gunbroker for several months to get an idea of availability and prices. Good Luck !

There is a long rifle on Gunbroker now for $900.00 but the condition is lacking to put it mildly. If you can find a nice one for $1400.00 grab it quick.
Danish are less, but personally I do not care for the metal barrel jacket, and then the ammo is difficult.

Please allow me to comment about the ammo for Danish Krag. 8x58r is almost readily available as 8x56r hungarian can be fire formed without any efforts. I've been reloading this PPU fire formed brass more than 6 times now and lost non of them yet.
well, I have to admit that this is for reloaders.
