My krag what do yall think?

NRA, your assumption about rebuilds being the major source of stock swaps is correct. The parts were put in bins with no attempt to assemble them back into the stock they came out of, though they sometimes got lucky. Or, perhaps there were times the rebuild shop's workload was down, they could take the time and space needed to set stocks aside and restore them to the original receiver. Then there were stocks that didn't have a cartouche, meant to be used as replacements for broken stocks in the field.

Nice......... I like the idea that this could maybe possibly be an original stock. Well it is always nice to dream.

Oh yeah I bought this vintage ammo 8/1930 with the idea of using it but now I am being told it has more collectable value than to use it. I am thinking about selling some boxes is there any interest? Mods if this is not politically correct please let me know so I can correct this
