My first Krag was what I thought was an NRA Krag. I was very disappointed when I figured out that it wasn’t and didn’t know what to do, try to make it into a fake Span Am carbine or fake NRA carbine? It hid in my safe for a while while I found an honest Krag School rifle to play Krag with. I eventually got back to pondering my fake’s fate and stumbled onto the Scout Rifle Forum. My Krag Scout build is shown there. Once a firearm is permanently altered [bbl cut] it’s not original anymore and while it can be rebuilt back it’s not original as the serial number and refinishing doesn’t lie. Good luck on your rebuild.
The other rifle is a sporterized 21 inch bbl ‘03 Springfield that I rebuilt back into a military stock.
