Modified 1989 Krag

[boomer656]

I picked this 1898 Krag up 'on the cheap' a couple of days ago. It is on the other end of the spectrum from the Krag that rcathey just picked up. It will never come close to being collectable, but I do hope it will be a good shooter. The barrel is 24" with a Lyman front sight. I assume it is the original barrel. The only mark remaining on it is a P stamped into the barrel bottom just in front of the receiver. The added rear peep sight is marked Pacific. As you can see in the photo's, the handguard has a nasty crack that has received an even nastier repair. I'll be looking to replace that if it turns out the gun is a good shooter.
