I saw this shortened barrel M1984 Krag rifle on Gun Broker and was intrigued. It might be an interesting rifle to add to a collection but I am not interested now.

The barrel has been shortened to 24 inches by, apparently, cutting a section of the original 30 inch barrel out from behind the front sight and skillfully welding the front piece back on so as to preserve the front sight completely. You can see the weld mark but the job looks extremely good. I'd love to examine the bore at that point with my bore scope and see how good it looks inside.

I haven't seen this job before. I wonder if CMP would have done it or someone else?

Anyone seen this before?
