Value of Krag Jorgensen rifle in Canada?

[Andy]

I think the reason why so few uncut military stocks remain is that after-market sporter stocks have never (so I believe anyways) been available, so anyone wanting to sporterize one had no alternative but to hack away at the original. Any stocks that might have been removed intact were pretty much valueless when most sporterization took place (50's-80's), and when saved are found to be very fragile when removed from the barrelled receiver, so many might have been broken and discarded.

Whatever stocks you see are in the US $300-400 range and are often without hardware (and I had to go to Norway for a front barrel band and paid US $40!). These stocks are a bugger to reproduce using a copier, but I bet that a stock manufacturer could sell a good repro for a good buck, but probably only sell fewer than a couple of hundred over a few years - not worth the tooling up costs.

BTW - I like my full-wood "Stomperud" (German marked) Krag.
