I got to get my 2 cents in also ... Muuummmm a1000 dollars complete rifels like this use to see for a lot more at gun shows ... Yeee it would have given a 1k for it if it was my first gun .. 30-40 krag is my very favorite gun to shoot and has proven to be the most accurate iron sight gun I own .. Thease people in the foram have a combined knolage of krag rifles that is unbelievable amount of knolage and facts .. There the best source I know... You got to be brass and load up some amo and go shooting now .. And start learning about krags and go shopping for you next one and become a krag collector ... Theres a lot of stuff out there good luck ... Carbon Outlaw ....
