This thread gets more and more interesting... I think I will go with .35 Krag; a .30-40 opened out to .358. Already have tons of new and used .30 Krag around, you see.

Current sub-projects:

Stock. Haven't found a suitable candidate yet.

Front sling swivel attachment. If anybody makes the sling swivels that attach through the stock to the barrel, you can't prove it by me.
