Marty, I love the plain, businesslike lines of that sporter. Not sure I'd want to haul all that hard maple up to the treeline, tho!
I passed on a very similar rifle, maple and all, because of bore condition a few years ago in upstate NYS. Wonder if it was the same smith that made both....this one was a no-name, too, unfortunately.

It is surprisingly light. I have never weighed it but I doubt it goes over 7.5 pounds. The old recoil pad needs replaced. It is hard as a rock after all these years. Maybe a Pachmeyer Old English would be nice on it.

My son has a Krag rebored to .35 Krag and stocked in the Mannlicher or "Stutzen" style. There are no markings to identify who rebored and shortened the barrel. Although nicely done, I believe the stock was a home project, probably a Bishop blank. It handles and shoots very nicely. He paid in the neighborhood of $250 if I remember correctly and that included a Lyman 55 rear sight and fortunatly a set of RCBS custom dies were included. He lives in Illinois, so has not been able to use it on whitetails, but it worked quite convincingly on a Missouri hog.

As soon as I can get up there, I am going to buy the rifle mentioned upthread by the other member. Any leads on a complete bolt for less than @$75 or so?

Nice!
Lone Waddie, Gunmaker.
That should be worth about $22,000, eh?

The gun was purportedly built by Elmer Kay or Kaye of Oklahoma. Has anyone ever heard of him?

When I see stuff like this, I just makes me want to re-kick myself in the azz for selling the nice Krag sporter I had.
