Saw a good deal on a 1899 Krag carbine yesterday ...
I was at a large gunshow and saw what appeared to be a correct/original 1899 Krag carbine. 350,000 range and had the C-marked rear sight (M1901). Not much finish, but it was priced at $725 and I think the seller would have "dealt". Unfortunately, my gun money was in the same straits as Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
