Hi Dave!  Let me add my welcome too!

I guess I'm of the same mindset as the others.  Although a replica would be a reasonable idea, from a collector's standpoint, it would not be original.  From a competitive standpoint, it would be great to shoot in an NRA High Power match with a modern equivalent of the venerable Krag, but the demand would be very small indeed.  I shoot my 1898 rifle in Vintage matches all year, but replicas (as far as I know) are not allowed per CMP rules.  So I agree there would be a tiny market for a replica, and the cost would far exceed demand.

I truly appreciate you keeping Joe's legacy alive!  It's comforting to know that if I happen to crack a bolt, or break a striker or gate spring, there would be a place I can turn to get a legitimate replacement.  God bless you for that, and for remaining faithful to our beloved Krags!
