Here's my Krag sporter. I wasn't really looking for a Krag, but this one came along at a really good price and had a nice old Lyman peep installed. The original stock was poorly sporterized by someone, complete with approx. 10 lpi "checkering". I figured on restocking it, but the original stock was sound and had some nice grain, so I decided to try saving it. With all the work I did removing the previous crudely done sporterizing and adding a pistol grip, I think restocking from scratch would have taken less time. Last step was polishing out nearly a hundred years worth of abuse and pitting, then bluing.
