    Unfortunately a little bit bubbu'd, is like a little bit pregnant.

    Complete Norwegianicon Krags are extremely rare, both here in Canadaicon and in the US. This one appears to be a model 1894 that has been cut. It was the most common Norwegian rifle during WW2. The model 1912/16 was the other one commonly found. Either one of those, with complete wood and all parts could cost in the $1500 range. But there are so few found, and the market for those who are wanting these Norwegian surplus isn't huge, so it's hard to get an accurate gauge as to what one will bring.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    From the pic the owner showed me in a firearms book, the only bubbaing was the forend was cut back a few inches and the band discarded. Barrel etc appear uncut.

    Thanks for the help people!

    Stocks are practically non-existant. If you buy it, be prepared for it to be a bubba for life, to serve as a parts gun, or just to shoot. That's a $200 gun tops.

    I agree. It's a $200 source of parts. I'll be surprised if anyone offers a penny more.

    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 Norwayicon 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" (Germanicon marked) Kragicon.

    Thanks for the info Andy! Yes, it's very sad about the cut down wood. Here's a reply I got about this rifle on a Krag Jorgensen site.
