Very few of these historic Krags are exactly correct and original. I don't see any problem changing your carbine the way you propose since it will look good with matching patina and be extremely desirable as it will stand. You have been its care taker for many years and you have not mis treated it. Would be OK as far as I'm concerned. I'm more upset at the bach1s continuing to buy good Krags and selling off the parts to make a profit. Some of those parts may go back to make good Krags but how many were destroyed to begin with.

I'm a vote for do as you want. You're making it better, not worse.

Great post to make us think about how we can and should decide these things for ourselves, where applicable.
