Another Krag story

Folks,
My nephew found a lovely sporterized .30/40 Krag with the original sights (which are worth as much as the sporterized rifle). The bore is rough and is not unusual for a rifle that is 108 years old. He got the rifle for $100.00. Once a new barrel is installed, the rifle will be like new. It is getting hard to find Krags these days. All the best...

Gil, wouldn't be better to hang it o n the wall? I'm thinking collector value. Or is your nephew planning on shooting it a lot?
Keep it coming...

George,
The Krag has already been sporterized so it is a shooter. Just needs a new barrel and an Adams & Bennett barrel from Midway will tighten it right up. The collector value of the rifle is minimal. All the best...
