New to group and Krags. My father gave me one several years ago. I've shot it a few times. So I'm just wondering if someone can give me some more insight as to when this was made, what's it worth etc... Thanks for your time

It's pretty nicely done.  Buehler safety, maybe Bishop stock.  Different trigger, different bolt handle, Remington rear sight.  Nice thick sling, maybe a Turner?  I'd go along with $500, it would depend on just what a potential buyer was looking for.

Yes, it is a pretty nice sporter.  But, not to sound like a downer, I would have to disagree with the value.  I would say that $500 is quite high for this specimen.  It has been cut down,sporterized, the receiver has been drilled and tapped for the scope.  There is literally nothing left of collectible value here.  Yes, it will likely be a good accurate and fun shooter, but not a valuable Krag.  I would put it's value closer to $250. 
I am more of a realist.

have fun shooting it and enjoy it for what it is now.

Best regards,
Tom

I'll third Tom's estimate.

Mmm maybe some you can find that are thrown together for $250.00. But like the rest if there done right and there are lots of pictures at all angles and a good bore $500.00 and then some for these rifles.  I know I been looking at them for 4 or more months.
They were selling these guns to the public for $2.69 and with all the surplus ammo many 1000's were converted to sporters.  Many of these not only have there military histories but very colorful hunting histories which for me are just as important too.
So when I hunt with mine I'll get to return to a simpler time and wonder if the guy that hunted with it back then was as thrilled with hunting with this rifle as I am.  There was a time when sportorized military rifles were all we had we could buy to hunt with or shoot.
I understand your fascination and love of these military rifles but I don't think you should belittle those of us who carry that same enthusiasm as you do for the straight military rifles and carbines.
I think their all  Fastenating in their own way.

To me, there are several classes of altered Krags and the values increase substantially.  Maybe we can rank them from 0 to 10 and use decimal points for special efforts. 

The bottom of the barrel are those that my Dad said were "hacked on by the idiot son of the village blacksmith in the dark of the moon".  Those aren't worth much.  Call them Class 0.

Next, I would put the Bannerman jobs put together from parts, and maybe not parts from Krags.  Class 1, at best, with those points given for imagination. 

Then there are the basic alterations; shortened barrel but properly cut & crowned.  Front sight from an 03 or an aftermarket band sight, shortened stock.  Issue sights left on. I'd give them a 2.  A No-Drill receiver sight would add 1 point to the ranking.  Drilling the receiver for a scope mount takes away a point, maybe more.

Next I would put those with simple aftermarket stocks that were well done.  Add a point for a 1920s-era barrel band inside the stock, maybe attached to the front sling swivel.  I would put those in the 2 to 3 category.

Then there are the alterations that added a higher comb and a pistol grip to the military stock. To me, those are in a class by themselves.  Some are awful, but some are marvels of woodworking skill.  I tend to give the really good jobs 3 to 4 points.

Then there were sporters built with aftermarket stocks of high-end wood, like the Peerless stocks sold by Stoeger.  Those were drop-in stocks, but a world away from a Bishop or Fajen. If a bare-bones Bishop gets a 3. a Peerless gets a 5 or 6.

After that, to me, come the altered Krags that were done by very skilled craftsmen, both known and unknown.  What's the value of one marked "Griffin & Howe" or "Hoffman Arms Co."?  9?

The last 4 Amoskeag auctions have had 50 or more really high-end Krags, those worked over by masters, all in the 7 to 10 class.  Most of them came from Mark Beneson's estate.  Most sold for $800 to $1500 and all were bargains.

The man I got mine from said he had had it for 20 years and that the man he bought it from from was 94 years old told him that this rifle was done by a very well known smith from back in the1920's
And from every thing I've looked at on my rifle he was telling me the truth. My trigger is sweet but it's the original krag trigger.
It was worth to me what I paid for it.
This was a great response for all the different krag said one could run into. Thanks for a great thread.
