My first Milsurp

[Aragorn243]

I was at a gun show over the weekend, didn't find anything worth purchasing. Did look at some original Krags as suggested and do see the difference on the finger grooves.

So the consensus seems to be a lightly sanded stock which probably removes it from the serious collectors interests but an otherwise nice looking rifle that the average person may still have interest in. A bit of a step down from the original glowing praise but nice to know the truth. Thanks for all the opinions and the explanations for the opinions, they are much more valuable than simply saying something was done to it without any explanation as to how that conclusion was made. Now I know what to look for.

This is probably the only Krag I will own, I don't plan to get another as it is a nice representative piece for me.
