Very nice job. I did a cut down Krag into a school rifle for a good friend. Krags are super.

good on you!
I did my 1898 krag with one of Jesse's stocks at prestigious. He is also very receptive to comments for improvements. In my correspondence with him, he seems to always be making the designs better, figuring out where to leave a little extra.
He uses good walnut too, as you can see on my krag - not that sappy stuff with a spray tan we see on new 03 stocks from elsewhere. He is the only maker of Krag stocks right now (Macon doesn't count. their "semi" inlets are a block dug out with a spoon, inaccurately at that, and left for you to do all by hand and salvage if you can.)

I had a similar experience with a fellow that did a Swedish M94 stock for me. It wasn't exactly terrible but there was not a straight line anywhere to be found. He did it on a stock duplicator and a copy of a copy of a copy starts to lose definition. It was a lot of work to make it presentable. I ended up buying an original stock off eBay and sending it to Jesse. He does his stocks on a CNC mill so they are exactly the same everytime. I'm sure the Krag stocks will be high quality when he's done.
