Thank you all for taking the time to welcome me to the forum and share your knowledge with me. I have found an original 1901 dated stock online and rifle style handguard as well! Buttplate also ordered.
Krags are indeed fascinating arms and a unique part of our history. I feel fortunate to have a chance to restore the stock on this one with the correct model year. The old stock is cool too, but had been cut so the leather butt pad would fit. That stock is beyond repair. I'll post pictures when the parts come in. Thanks again!! PS; the bore looks nice! Shiny with strong lands and grooves, albeit shallow. Guess that is standard for Krags? 30-40 ammo on order. Reloading dies already in hand. |
