Springfield Krag rifle builder.

'99621' - I beg to differ. Perfectionism can be a curse; it is unrealistic.

It it is fun and educational to make and restore a useful firearm from parts.
Going through the process has vastly expanded your knowledge of the U.S. Krag.

You are going to end up with a Krag Rifle that you should feel some pride in.
Especially, when you take it out to the Range for shooting sessions.

Restoring a firearm has become an extremely risky financial gamble. The internet has resulted in loose gunparts becoming increasingly expensive.

We have all gotten into projects that ended up more expensive than we imagined.

Take some pleasure in your project. The parts are still valuable and you have a working Krag.
