Title: Re: New 1894 Acquisition with Reproduction Stock
Post by Whig on Jan 27th, 2019 at 1:09am
So, I am at a loss to explain where this stock came from and how it was mated with this Model 1892 rifle. I have tried to get info from the auction house but they have not responded. I’d like to trace the provenance if I can.

I have also shown the comparison of the reproduction ramrod to my original one from my other M92 Krag. The dimensions are almost exact but there are slight differences in comparison such as the head and threads being different. It has a bright blue finish. Needs about 100 years of patina to match! I have wiped the stock and hand guard down well with linseed oil.

So, if anyone has any ideas about this rifle or has seen a reproduction stock as nice, I’d love to hear about it. I have no idea how to value this rifle but I know it’s a keeper. Also, the bore has no pitting and looks almost unused. Only very slight wear of the lands and grooves. Thanks for any input.

I have a few pages of pictures:
