Dan should be along to add some narrative to these pics.

The magazine door release.

And the last few.

This is the Krag that was mentioned in the thread titled "What's been on your watch list" and that thread had a link to overall photos. I thought showing some details might give some clues as to who built the rifle. Anyone out there want to make a guess?
There are sure a lot of time consuming features that today would cost a fortune to reproduce. The buttplate with the stippling is from the Trapdoor from the same thread, making it seem the same person did both rifles. He used a M70 supergrade front swivel and a hook on the rear which is different.

All the weird details really reminds of the later James Howe rifles. I wonder if any of the details / buttplate engraving are shown in his books.

I really liked the trapdoor and should have bid alot on it...

Niedner?

Not with Der Schweinrucken stock-- Der Fuchs

I think most Niedner guns will have a Niedner barrel while this Krag has a Remington marked barrel. Not sure if the barrel was from another rifle or if Remington sold barrels which they marked.

This might give a hint as to maker.
