A dealer near me who sells lots of used rifles presently has two Krags.
One is model 1894, serial # 11265, priced at $7xx (I forgot to write it down). It appears mostly original, except the stock's fore end has been shortened, and the stock shows some other cuts and abuse. I believe it has a 26 inch barrel. It seems to have the original sights. The bore seems typical for a gun that has been fired in the era of corrosive primers.
The other is model 1898, serial # 217908, 30-inch barrel, priced at $595. The stock has been cut down and refinished with a relatively nice appearance. It has a peep sight of some style I never saw before mounted at the rear of the receiver. The peep sight prevented removing the bolt, so I could not check the bore.
Are those prices good? Any other comments? I would appreciate any comments on whether those serial numbers are significant. Thanks.
