I am watching those auctions now as well, thank you for the heads up. I honestly can not make up my mind as weather to sell my 1898 stock or not. So have been holding off doing anything with it. Its...

If anybody else watched that auction, it definately has me thinking I should put it up on ebay. I did not realize just how far some may go for genuine 1898 carbine parts. I think if I can get enough...

Thank you for the link Madsenshooter, I will be watching that. This is putting me in a bit of a conundrum, cause the stock I have would look really nice. The other thing is I have been searching out...

Just so everybody is clear, this is my 1896 carbine....................

This is my 1898...

If the holes are a minor issue, I would think it a worth while trade for a 32" stock. But apparently to the other fella it would not be. (point of the trade is moot, as I want to keep original...

Since it already has the holes, then would it still be a sin to modify it?

I am debating putting it up on ebay, but would rather if possible, trade it for an 1896 carbine stock and possibly other parts depending on condition.

Other then that, would it be considered bad...

Thank you for the information on this post as well Madsenshooter. I had not thought of the possibility of a field replacement. I hope it works out that I can trade it for proper Model 1896 stock and...

Thanks for the information Madsenshooter. Appreciate your offer but I do have another sight, if possible will try to fix this one. I had thought it was the Italian walnut, and am glad that you could...

Thanks Gentleman, the stock looks like it had a rubber recoil pad on it for years, however I think it will clean up nicely. Thanks also for the parrts source, that is one I have not stumbled across...

This is the 3rd of three Krags picked up in three days. 1898 Krag rifle, SN 278593. (any one know if it has an SRS hit?)

It looks to be original, except for the cut stock (intend to repair) and...

So if you read my other post, I have an original 1896 carbine that I am going to attempt to restore. In doing so I picked up this sporter Krag at the gun show last weeekend, armed with enough...

Looking at the group pic, many do have sling swivels. As it is my understanding that the CMP only sells U.S. Government property, just what are the thoughts on the sling swivels? My guess is that a...

It looks to have been rode hard and put away wet, alot. Madonna's diagnosis.

Seriously, it belonged to a co workers uncle and was "his hunting tool" . After that it has sat in my friends closet...

Hello Gents, I have been reading through here quite a bit and decided I should join up again ( I was a member here about 8-10 years ago) as I have recently been bitten by the Krag bug. What got it...
