another krag

[brian]

picked another 200 dollar krag up this morning.
it's a cut down 1898 rifle, from 1904...was also drilled and tapped.
the stock it is in however, is an oddball.
towards the end of production, they had to pick a few more stocks up. so they aquired some italian walnut to finish the run....this is one of those 13,000 something stocks....and is a propper carbine stock
the American black walnut developes a deep reddish-brown when finished, teh italian goes to a light yellowish-tan color.


and it's new stable mates.
these others actually are carbines.

You Dog, did it come from the usual place? It looks great.

they'res somewhere else?????
it was refinished when it was sported. the wood does have terrific figure though.

it even came with a pretty nice kerr no-buckle sling....that a 1917 eddystone is now sporting.

Looks good brian. Now I just need to find a day off to get myself up there, and have a look around.
