Thank you very much! I'm not especially a Kragicon guy but since the rifle was in its original 1896 configuration and in high condition with a perfect bore, I couldn't resist. The seller really wanted the cyq P.38 I had which had been surprisingly inexpensive and nothing remarkable. He even threw in a bayonet and scabbard to clinch the deal so I went away a happy man. Among my junk, I have some M1887 slings and a rod kit so now I'll keep the Krag. Usually when I run across decent original Krags, they turn out to be old VFW rifles with sewer pipe bores.

My generation is still struggling with the computer age and posting pix is an art I have yet to master.
