Howdy all!

A member here - Stretch32, who's an officer (and F-18 Fighter Jockey) in the US Navy is looking for a stock. He asked me to check around because his deployment requirements means he's rarely online.

Stretch is building a parts Krag for his sister to use for hunting, and is looking for a sporter stock, either cutdown or aftermarket. He would prefer it to have a pistol grip piece attached if possible. He's building a carbine length, complete with a new Criterion carbine barrel. If anyone has an extra laying around that they don't mind parting with... please let me know, and I'll get the info to him.

Thanks very much.

I'll check The Dungeon in a bit. I believe I have a cut-down surplus to my needs. Will let you know.

Awesome! Thanks very much.

Being he is a brown shoe this might be a bit old fashioned. Done in 20-30's, needs a good home Missing butt plate, left side modified for Lyman 48. Pistol grip and lightening hole nicely done.

Yep... that's pretty much what he's looking for! PM me if you can and we can discuss the details. I can shoot him an email and put him in touch with you.

Thanks Joe

I do have a cut-down stock but I'd take HeyJoe's over mine! ;D

Hi Paul,

Don't know how quickly/effort Stretch32 want's to put in this project but eBay has some nice offerings:

If he's looking for move-in-ready than HeyJoe's offering would be a nice way to go!

As a brown shoe, I appreciate vintage craftsmanship :-)

HeyJoe,

That looks really nice. Ive got your info, email on the way.

Give me a shout if you ever get orders to Horn of Africa. I'll by ya a cup of coffee. It's kinda lonely here in KCA Det. 1. with no shooting of Krags and all.

Culp... you should remember Stretch. He shot in the Roosevelt with us in 2017, you remember... the year you just showed up and surprised (scared?) the hell out of all of us!
