'ABK' - It looks like you are doing fine with your Krag. (Just work on your photography! - LOL).

We would all like to hear how you went about your restoration!

After you gave me the information from the Springfield Research Services documentation on my Krag I was able to use Poyer's book to research what parts would have been originally on my rifle.  Then once I knew what parts I needed and which style I was able to track them all down.  I found the correct stock.  I added the cut off and front band.  I then found a barrel and one of my friends switched the barrels out for me.  I have fired it and it shoots great.  Next I am going to start looking for the proper accessories.  It has been a fun project so far and I am sure it is going to bring me years of enjoyment.

'ABK' - Well Done, You!

'Movieman630' on ebay usually has the best price for the Krag 3-piece cleaning rod and oiler, (for the butt-trap). His stuff is legit.

("Movieman" is listed in the KCA Classifieds as "Grandpa's Gun Parts". You can view lots of offerings and prices, but, the site is under construction and will not be active until 2017).

FWIW, I think Movieman (AKA Grandpa's gun parts) is Joe DeChristopher's grandson.  He inherited Joe's business and is continuing the tradition of honesty and integrity! 

Great job on the restoration!  Going to turn some heads at Camp Perry
