<r>I received this rifle from a friend whose Aunt had died. The military stock was cut off right in front of the first barrel band. I replaced it with a Boyds stock. Barrel is full length and slugs at .309" At 50 yds I get five shot groups of around 2" with the open sights. I have not shot...

Nice rifle! From your serial number, It looks like it was made in 1902.

I just took a look at Boyd's web site and it looks like they have stocks for Krag Models 1896 and 1898 in both carbine and rifle but in semi-inlet standard walnut only.
