G-G-Gorgeous Sporter!

Recently acquired this rifle for an embarrassingly low price, and have to share. It's the nicest Krag sporter I've personally ever seen. It's very professionally done, with an expertly checkered walnut replacement stock, Lyman sights (front and rear), reblued receiver and bbl (original Krag bbl cut to 24"), minty bore, recoil pad with Winchester logo and marked "Patent June 6 1922." There's even a forearm inlay around the bbl screw that appears to be antique ivory! It's M1898 serial #264050 (1900 manufacture date).
Does anyone know who might have done this beautiful work, or when? The rifle appears hardly used at all, and had been in storage the better part of two decades, from what I understand....
