this is my dad's 30-40 krag. it will be mine once mom decides to part with it.(disclaimer-i'd rather have dad around still). it belonged to a relative of my mothers that lived next door to us. he was elderly and te story goes that he brought this gun home from the war. he had a lot of nice guns and had pretty much told dad he could have his pick because dad mowed his lawn, did general house repairs, etc. mom's brothers never helped him out at all, but upon his death, they went in and got all the nice guns. they left this one and a .22. the .22 was beyond reapir. this one was not. when dad got it, the stock was cracked and the end of the damascus barrel was damaged. dad basically said "f them, i'll show them" and took the krag to a local gunsmith that had done a lot of work for dad over the years. after about a week the smith called back and said the gun was salvageable and had an idea. he had a small piece of wood and wanted dad to see it. he could get a big enough chunk to hand craft a stock to replace the cracked/unsafe one. we went to look at the stock, a price was agreed apon and awhile later this came home with dad. sorry for the bad pics. they were taken with cell phone...i really need to get some new ones with the good camera.
I'd trade my Blazer and Fiance for it
