I had posted on this forum years ago but I can't find my info so I re-registered.
Anyways, I was looking at an 1896 Krag carbine (ser.#69174). It was in good shape but it was missing the rear sight and top handguard. I have another carbine that I replaced the sight and handguard on, so I know they're available. But someone had mounted a sight at some point and removed the mag cut-off. I know the carbine isn't a collector's piece, but everything else seems original - barrel band, saddle ring, etc. The wood is in good shape.
So, is this carbine worth $325? I know, without good pics it's hard to say, but I'm wondering if the mag cut-off can be replaced. It looks like a good shooter.
Could it be a cut down rifle?
