What I think:

It is silly that all U. S. Krag receivers are not classified as antique firearms and exempt from BATF documentation.

It is silly how Krag parts are bringing crazy money on ebay.

It is silly how ignorant or unscrupulous some ebay vendors are and how they misrepresent and over price things.

It is unfortunate how many historical firearms are being 'parted out' to fuel ..... what?

I grew up in the tradition that we were merely the custodians of antique items. We were free to use and enjoy our acquisitions. But, we were honor bound to properly care for and preserve things, like firearms, in their 'experienced state' and accurately pass them on to future generations of aficionados.

A bit of profit was "OK" to build and improve one's collection, but, you also always looked out for and tried to help the "new guys".
