Bore Condition of 1898 Krag

Something happened to my old account and I can't find the thread so I had to start a new one, but some of you may remember me asking about a Krag that had a slightly swollen stock and looked like it spent some time in a humid area. I got some more pictures sent to me and as far as I can tell the bore looks decent, not great but alright. I'm wondering what I should pay for this, and also if in some of the experts opinions I will be able to have some fun shooting this Krag. Lastly, what is that tag that says "15" of the buttstock in the last picture? Here are the pics, thanks for your advice;

Is that a crack in the wrist, just above the trigger?

Are you talking about the second photo? Maybe that is a hairline fracture, I don't know, but good point, I'll ask the seller.

Is is me, or did the bore look bad (or is it just a bad picture?)?

Nope, that bore does look bad, which is primarily why I didn't buy it (also the stock has several cracks and looks warped in places).
