I came across a #3 chambered in .30-40 krag today while browsing the local sale rack with an asking price of $300. The stock has been cut/refinished (which really doesn't bother me since I would like to use the action for a semi custom build) and there is some light freckling to the metal. Can an action be found cheaper than $300? Buying this gun would give me a chance to shoot a caliber I have not yet had the chance to try. I would also like to know how the members feel about the #3 action as a basis for a custom gun? I really like the Dakota action but I cant afford one so I figure the #3 is the next best thing. Best-JB
