Title: Re: Help Identifying Possible Fake Post by Fred G. on Jan 21st, 2018 at 6:50pm
You bought a collection of used Krag parts. Here's what I see as still somewhat collectable...
A well used butt plate with no finish A well used rear band with no finish Front and rear sling swivels Trigger guard Screws for all the above parts A complete bolt Complete receiver Complete Trigger and sear Gate Follower Spring Side plate Screw The original rifle barrel has been shortened, so no unaltered military sight can ever be used with any accuracy for distance. The old screw holes have been filled and ground flush. You can shoot the rifle as is for fun or sport and get your money's worth out of it. Unless you're very knowledgeable about Krags and are very lucky to come upon a Sleeper at a garage sale or from an unwary seller walking into a show, you can just about always follow the old rule that say's "you get what you pay for". |
