Springfield Krag rifle builder.

I love scrounging parts and completing and restoring damaged Krag sights. (military and commercial)

Until recently, good Krag rifle sights routinely sold from $45 to $75 on ebay.
Carbine rear-sight models have long brought a premium, selling for three to ten times the amount of the rifle version.

Krag parts are getting more difficult to find and prices are getting silly.

I have been fortunate enough to find most of the receiver parts, stock parts, checking all over the web for a good price, quality parts, it's really good when you can visually inspect each part for any issues before putting it together. I still have to locate a stock, however I'm not ready to start that part of my search.
Again, I am on the hunt for: good condition parts, excellent screws, nothing to be refinished, same for the wooden stock, forearm.
