I went to a yard sale the other day and picked up this Krag. It's a cut down rifle (bummer), but it does have a genuine 1896 Krag carbine stock and upper band. It has been reblued and the rear sight is a 1902 rifle sight. I am going to look around and see if I can come up with a '96 carbine sight, yeah I know, good luck with that. It will probably cost more for the sight than I paid for the rifle, but what the heck, I can always sell it separately if I decide to get rid of the rifle.
I might add that I got this for a decent price, so I don't have much in it to date.
The bore looks brand new, not a single flaw in the rifling and it is a shiny as a new dime. At first I was going to part it out, but it has grown on me over the last few days and now I have decided to keep it.
I have a bit of ammo saved up as I also have a pretty nice 1898 rifle.
Just barely discernible is the cartouche with an 1898 date.
