Just now took possession of a 1899 Krag Rifle, Ser. No. 346059. The handguard is missing. The stock has been cut back to carbine length. Nothing else has been altered. Cleaned the bore ... it's bright as a nickle! Using a strong light, the throat looks nice. The muzzle looks real good. Tonight I will try to get pictures. Will need some advice about how to post them. Would like to begin planning how to restore this to a correct configuration. Sincerely. bruce.
