Don't listen to the negative Nancy's. To obtain a unmolested pristine Krag your looking at 1000s of dollars potentially depending on history and documentation. I got a sporterized Krag from my Grandparents. I spent hundreds restoring it and some of the naysayers on here would turn there more up to it. But its my most prized rifle and I have many. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I hope this doesn't turn into a Corvette forum type mentality. Congrats on your find and eBay is a great source for parts.
