Title: Re: Krag Carbine or not??? Post by butlersrangers on Jun 16th, 2012 at 8:04pm
Exhumis: The Butt area and Butt-plate of your carbine stock are "OK". Your 1896 Carbine stock appears to have been sanded and refinished in the past (hence the faintness of the "P" in a circle mark). As someone else stated, the 1896 Carbine Stock is the most valuable part of this 'mixture of parts' gun. There are many collectors looking for a nice 1896 Carbine Stock. I would estimate the stock with its butt-plate and band-spring to be worth around $500. Your barrel band is an 1899 carbine band and not the 1896 carbine band that also serves as a sight guard. The 1899 barrel band has been painted and in its condition is worth about $35. The rest of your Krag is 'cut-down' 1896 rifle and its value is based on its utility as a 'shooter'. I would guess your rifle might bring $450 to $600 from someone who wants the parts. IMHO
