S99-

Could you post some pictures of what you have to work with? We're all just "shooting in the dark" with opinions and recommendations without full awareness of what you want or need based on where you are starting with this project.

A sporterized Krag, with a cut down or replaced barrel and other modifications from original military configuration, is usually valued from $300-500, based on some criteria.

So, it is not really worth sinking big bucks into re-doing pieces into something that will not be worth that much as a finished product. A valuable M1896 carbine, for example, will wear a correct M1896 rear sight which is essentially unobtainable. If you see one, chances are it will cost north of $600.

Sporeteized Krags, though, can be fun to own, collect and shoot! They can still be very accurate.

So, post some pictures and quit teasing us!!

We will help as much as we can, though. We love to see Krags reborn and fixed up in any form.
