I almost fell over when I asked  the clerk at a gun store how much they wanted for the Krag in the rack. I don't know anything about Stevens Pope 22 Krag's but is $6,000 what these are going for?  I know "whatever the market will bear"  But wow. 1898 serial number a little over 461,000, 1902 rear sight,  1903 cartouche, looked like a period barrel, very flat crown. Anyway, if anybody finds themselves in Stockton Ca with a bunch of money burning a hole in their pocket………..

One can ASK whatever one wishes, but, at that price, he'll have it forever. Maybe his wife told him to try and get rid of it and he doesn't really want to? They, like the SA extractor-plate guns, will move - albeit slowly - in the $3000 area. I may be selling mine in the not too distant (5 yrs. or so) future.
