CMP picked up a lot of Krags that the Army took back from Vet groups. Many are in poor shape. Stocks cut down, sanded and varnished. Some where chromed. Bad barrels like the M1917's from so many corrosive blanks fired thru them. YOu might find a good one thru hand's on examination. A mail order purchase would be a real gamble.

i went thru Krags at the North store in January, seemed to me that there were cut downs that looked like carbines but weren't, some stamped as movie company property and most had some part or another missing.I am not a Krag guy at all so I gave up fast and went back to the Carbine rack.

Hey Griff, Maybe your dental patient could contact the BATFE file a complaint for weapons theft. Might get his carbine back quickly.

'So I encouraged him to buy one through CMP as he is a veteran'
Is that all you need? What do you do, show your DD214?

Basically you need proof of citizenship #1 - your passport, birth certif., or voter registration card, #2 you need to be a member of a CMP affiliated club or organization (In Texas, the Texas State Rifle Association is CMP-Affiliated), and #3 evidence of firearms training such as match bulletins, classification cards, carry permit' or honorable military service; i.e. your DD-214. I missed out on a C-stocked 03 because I did not know you had to prove citizenship even if you are a veteran... First time I was ever asked to prove that even though in the "old days" I had bought two rifles from DCM. They will do a NICS check on you and if you pass, you may buy.

Compare the CMP requirements...
with those for President of the United States!! Probably just as well that it's harder to buy a gun - I wouldn't want one in the Kenyan's hands, anyway!
