My 2nd Krag - May 1903 Rifle in 1900 Stock

[Hammer]

Yes - Oh My!

Or perhaps a .22 Gallery Practice rifle? Then there is the whole 1892 and 1896 arena. Short and long-stocked carbines, a "school gun"? Lions & tigers & bears, oh my!!

Indeed

[Hammer]

If butlersrangers assumption is correct I may already have a .22 cal Gallery practice rifle, at least the stock

This is from the post he did on my JFC stamp on my 1902 Krag Rifle;

.... and maybe my hunch was completely wrong.

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

Not clear on how having (POSSIBLY) having the stock for one would eliminate the "need" to have the whole gun?

Physically, the stocks are identical, so any sort of swapping was possible. I suppose the large, VERY ornate, unbordered "JFC" cartouche would be the most desirable. The .22s are pretty scarce, and pricy. Mine, 476551, is SRS-listed, and were I to part with it, would be asking around $3,500. But, right now, it's one of my keepers.
