I'm finally getting around to buying my first Krag. It has been on my "want" list for quite awhile. The one I'm getting, according to what I've been told, is a cut rifle in a saddle carbine stock. It's missing the hand guard and has a rubber butt pad. The saddle ring has been ground off and re-blued, but it's coming with an original one that I will put on. My intention is to replace the rubber butt pad with a steel butt plate, and eventually find a hand guard. I may also do something with the sling attachments. The serial number on the receiver places it as an 1898, but I'm not sure about the stock. The butt end is cut straight like an 1892, but it may have been straightened to fit the butt pad. I guess I'll figure that out when it arrives. I may need to fit a butt plate to what I have if the butt has been cut a bit.
