Recently, I posted some pictures of a 'cut-away' Krag that was sold at auction (with an impossible description). It was very attractively done and raised many questions.

Reviewing my copy of Brophy's book, "The 1903 Springfield Rifle", showed some relevant observations on legitimate Sectionalized model 1903 Springfield Rifles, likely made at Springfield Armory, as well as, some 1903 and 1903A3 sectionalized rifles made by Remington.

I have also been searching, Springfield Armory Museum - Collection Record, for photographs in their collection of sectionalized arms. (This is an ackward and slow process)!

I have not found a sectionalized U.S. Krag, yet. There is, however, an interesting array of arms at Springfield Armory that were "sectionalized". Often, it is not clear when, where, or by whom, the work was done.
