I also picked up two early Springfield M1903’s and sent you an email asking if you would please chec...

Re: Thinking about selling my 1903 dated Krag rifle, bayonet, leather sling

Thanks Whig!
There’s no hidden problems. Stock is in really good shape, bore looks great. and no pitting on the metal. I paid $700 for the rifle, $80 for the bayonet, and $75 for the sling.

Thinking about selling my 1903 dated Krag rifle, bayonet, leather sling

I’m thinking about taking my 1903 dated Krag rifle with its 1903 bayonet and 1903 RIA leather sling to the big Lakeland gun show in Florida this weekend.

What is a good fair market price that I should be asking for this all 1903 dated combination?

Wow Whig!!! That’s an amazing looking collection of Carbines and a couple lonely looking Rifles in their midst.

I sent you a PM yesterday as well asking if you could help check my 1903 Krags serial number in SRS. Thank you!

Re: I got very lucky at a local military collector show today!

And just two tables down was an origi...

Re: My 2nd Krag - May 1903 Rifle in 1900 Stock

Well, I’m leaning on the 50% that your hunch may be right because that means I don’t have to try to find a .22 caliber practice rifle to buy😂
