In 1982, we built a Krag hunting rifle on a spare receiver. At that time Flaig's in Millvale PA still had a few converted Springfield replacement barrels. They had advertised them for Krags in the 1960's and early 1970's. They were new 1903A3 Remington barrels that were converted, shortened, re-chambered to 30-40 and had the extractor cut done.

My 1982 invoice from Flaig"s says I paid $58. It installed without any extra issues, we polished it and blued it and added the ramp front sight. You can just make out a faint RA and date at the muzzle end at 6 O'clock under the front sight. It didn't quite polish out and I left it that way.
