I'm going out right now but before cutting anything down, I have a couple of sporterized, cut down Krag rifle barrels and attached receivers with an added front sight that I'd be willing to trade you for your barreled receiver. That way we would avoid cutting down a good rifle barrel and you could ave your base carbine length receiver and barrel to build up a good shooter/hunting carbine.

If interested, when I get back, I can post some pictures of what I have that I don't need anymore. The only cost for each of us would be shipping charge. I wouldn't charge you anything if you would want to do the same.

Let me know. Might save you some trouble and help me find a good home for a cut down Krag that I don't need. We don't like to see good Krag rifles cut down any more than they need to be. Yours can still be made into a nice rifle in the right stock. Metal wear "in the white" is not too bad if the barrel has not been cut or the receiver has not been drilled for a scope mount.

What is the serial number of this receiver?
