Update . I'm still working this project. Got all the hardware, original parts. Found a guy to repair my stock, but he knows an old Kragicon guy and is going to run it by him. They maybe can find a source for an 1898 rifle stock, which I believe is the year of mfg. of my rifle. No one here did an Srs check on this number, but Poyers book on Krags seems to indicate last calendar quarter 1898. I almost got an 1898 marked stock off eBay, but was outbid in the last minute by $1.50. Needless to say I was PO'd. But it had a crack in the wrist that needed to be repaired. I already have one of those. So progress and frustration. I put up want to buys here and on gunboards, but no serious prospects in 6 weeks. I know an unmolested 1898 marked rifle stock will be hard to find, so I am just staying steady on course.
