Need Advice on Rifle and Pricing

[salish]

Thanks Mark1 and BAR, but I've already passed on this rifle. Besides, spending $500+FFL transfer fees on the rifle, plus the cost of another receiver, plus the gunsmithing costs to do the job (I can't even put a screw in the wall accurately), plus the shipping and packaging costs, I might be approaching $700-$750 when I might be able to find another Krag without holes in the receiver. I'm not a pessimist, but just tossing that out.

Thanks,
Cliff
