I just got home with my 2nd new Krag this week and I hope this will give a few of you a laugh.  I found this at a local gun shop, the shop guys and I were kind of joking about the stock carving,  I wish I knew the story, I am sure someones father/uncle proudly carved this and it got passed down to someone who didn't care. Once I got past the rear stock, I noticed the 1896 carbine rear sight, so I bought it for that.   It is not my style so if anyone is interested in a "Custom" stock let me know.  Anyone have a less gaudy sporterized stock they want to sell?   

Can someone please check S/N 388396?

Here it is,  the ugly, the bad, and the good, followed by a few more pics.
