Ironically that's also the part that I'm hesitant about lol the rifle is almost too pretty! If the parts are original and I'm looking at a legit 1892 conversion that might have seen some action in the Spanish-American War I can look past the refinish. I will probably end up searching for a true collector at some point anyway. I've always thought the Krag was a fascinating weapon system, just have never bit on one yet lol
