After 10 months I finally have the parts to make my 1899 Krag carbine into a shooter. The gun is currently being fitted with a new barrel, but I finally have the elusive back sight (1901) for the carbine. I am using a Boyd stock which has now been stained as well as a repro hand guard. Everything else I have been able to find original parts for and I am hoping that by July I will be able to shoot it. I have also managed to find some ammunition for it which has been somewhat hard to find. If anyone is interested I may have some extra 1901 back parts to sell (rifle) when the project is complete.
