I wonder how many know that’s Atticus Finch. And I never knew that was a Krag till just now. How cool.
Any idea what happened to it?I have always wanted a Krag, too.
The whole action design has fascinated me since I discovered the rifle.
My great grandfather used one as a deer rifle for years.
Word has it that my grandfather had it.Any idea what happened to it?
Yeah but he goes by the alias Gregory Peck.I wonder how many know that’s Atticus Finch. And I never knew that was a Krag till just now. How cool.
Well you don’t find a lot of them for what I paid ($460). But if I found one, you can too.I've had two and would take another if it looked like that one. First one was a completely original 'musket' type, with the long barrel. Somebody before me d/t'd it and had a Lyman All-American 4x on it. Bought it in the late 70's for $110 and sold it for $500 a few years back.
The second one was a bubba'd-beyond-belief job. Guy had used a hacksaw to shorten the stock both front and rear and had screwed in a hard rifled butt plate that was too tall for the butt. Paid a guy at the gunshow under $150 for it and sold it for about double to a guy that just had to have one to play with.
Now I'm looking for one like what you got.
