A friend called my attention to this.

For those of us holding Krags, it's nice to see prices at that level - the rifle is nice, but far from minty.

Nice looking Krag...They don't come up for CMP auction very often.
BTW: Wasn't the HEADLESS cocking piece only used on the 1899 carbines? HAHA just kidding!!!

I never follow any CMP auctions because of prices but this is a wonderful Krag rifle all around. Not worth that price though. Maybe $1200-1300 depending on bore condition. Nice cartouche.

Well, it started at $1.00 and has 52 bids, so far!
It comes with CMP papers and a hang-tag.
Auction prices tend to get mighty goofy.
The stock blemish would normally hurt most collector interest, but the CMP has a different and big audience.

What am I missing here? $2,502.00 with 3 days and 14 hours left? Is this a special Model or something? If I'm not missing something, this is just stupid. Lol

That tells us a lot about the actual value of our currency. Those of us who think the price is incredibly high are mentally obsolete, behind the times.

$1200-1300m value. Currently, it would appear, that a "CMP" documentation doubles its value. Not in my book.

Maybe we should all just flood GunBroker with $2500 Krags and see what happens. LOL

Here’s a nice one that recently sold on Gun Auctions USA for $750…of course premiums and shipping have not been added to the winning bid:
