I've always been a long gun over carbines, but the inside of that barrel on the rifle would scare me away, certainly so for 700 smackers. I don't know what your criteria for a krag is, but there is cleaner options out there for a couple hundred more.
I found this fella with a quick search, he has 3 krags for sell starting at 850.00
(You need to Login to view media files and links)I spent $800 on the krag 98 rifle I bought a few weeks ago at a show in Connecticut, you can see it from link in my post in this forum, I wanted a clean condition shooter and no wasn't concern about a rifle being all original.
I spoke with that seller because he is relatively close to my state. He stated prices higher than the listing, not sure if he was confused or what but he was looking for over $1k for his Krags.
I decided on the Carbine, hoping to get it within the next week or so, I will post up some better pictures once I do, although I don't expect to be shooting it right away. No dealers around here stock .30-40 krag, so I'll need to hold off until I gear up for rifle reloading. I already got the Joe Poyer book and I've been reading up on the Krag's history, very cool that it made it to China.
