    If the rifle came from CMPicon, it could have come from one of two sources. The first source would have been returns from VFW or American Legion posts. These were for the most part fairly decent, complete, and original rifles. I saw M92/96, M96, and M98 rifles when they were offered at the CMP in Anniston, AL. Some of them had been plated. The second source of the Krags was from movie studios and movie prop companies. These Krags ranged from complete rifles to fabricated carbines. Many of the stocks were stamped MGM or RKO, and they were all in rough condition ( wish I had bought one now ). I heard that Orest, CMP official, traded M1903 and M1903A3 drill rifles for the movie Krags. I think the fabricated carbines were used in the "Rough Riders" movie.
