Krag Collectors Association Forum

Anyone know of a source for an elusive, to me, 1896 stock set?

You'll still need a front band. One of the guys has a post about splicing in a front piece of stock in the last couple of months. Stocks in the wild only come from @#^$&%^* guys parting out good guns the moola. The eternal dilemma for a limited commodity. Those who want to retain whole rifles or those will do any thing for a fast buck.

Yeah, i have been hoping for years to find one someone someone messed up the metal. I know its heresy to hope for a ruined krag but I really want to put this one back to as issued. She is stupid accurate

is it possible or easier to find a complete gun that has a sewer pipe barrel and just buy it and swap the sewer pipe into the sporter and visa versa?

there are a couple of stocks on ebay right now. not sure about correctness though?

Hunza.

Got any links?

It would be better to just go find an un-messed up Krag and enjoy both guns. Yeah. The six hundred dollar rifle of twenty-five years is now the one thousand to fifteen hundred dollar rifle of today. That or find a stock maker. I hear there is one and he ani't cheap. Frankly, I would personally go that route but I never did have any sense. It cost me fifteen hundred to put a new barrel on a rifle I paid close to five thousand. The chamber was severely eroded and was almost impossible to extract the only round I ever fired in it. I feared I would bend the lever doing it (my winchester musket).

Yeah, im not in a severe rush to do it so I wont over pay. I just want an example of each model year eventually and this would be my 1896 obviously

i have no connection nor any idea or opinion of authenticity etc of the above. just found them and hope to help

I have never purchased anything from "Ibach". He has been 'parting out' complete original Krag rifles, longer than I have been on this Forum.
It makes me angry, when original guns are destroyed!

'Prestigious Woods' seems to be a nice source for new gun stocks.
