The Lenz book has a diagram of how to modify a Krag military stock. All you need is patience. (VBG)

My late friend Jim Hogan installed a "through the stock" barrel band and sling swivel on my Bannerman Krag sporter about 10 years ago. I seem to remember that I sent a check to Brownell's for the parts.

I have Hart kits as installed on a couple of Krags and it was rather more than a quick do it yourself job. I am not at home and can't look at the rifles to be specific but some metalwork was required. Also, the magazine door is a stamping and the conversion is really not suitable for an absolutly top grade sporter. I do have a Hart sporterizaed military riflewith a cut down stockand a Lyman 1A cantelivered out behind the cocking piece on two struts screwed to the bolt sleeve. This rifle has a machined magazine door which is quite elegant. I have guessed that this preceded the kit offering. There is plenty of provenance paperwork proving the whole rig is Hart.

I'm loathe to mention it since I no longer own the rifle, but I had a Krag sporter which had been altered to a three shot design (two in the magazine + one up the spout), the side door having been totally eradicated. The stock flowed seamlessly over where the magazine box would be. The design was exquisite, utilizing the original follower and spring, and functioned flawlessly- cartridges being loaded into the magazine down from the top. The whole rig screamed Sedgely due to the stock design, but with no markings on it I couldn't be sure.

Would love to see a pic of this rifle if possible mark. I've seen a Krag with the Hart conversion and it was the rather cheap looking stamped affair.

What the...? I wonder if the floor plate is functional somehow. 'Twould almost be worth $300 to find out just what's going on with it!

It looks like a 54-Winchester carbine stock and floor-plate to me.

A KragChester if you will....;-) With the wood gone under the floor plate can't be a lot holding it together. I agree, it Would be fun to look it over

Finally got images for the .35 Krag round. It really resembles a .35 Whelen made on the .30-40 case. I would post a pic if I could figure out how. Anybody got a line on classic Krag wood?
