The barrel bands for these are cheap and widely available. I'd have to inlet the stock or find a factory stock. Funny you mention the Krag, I recently picked up a nicely sporterized one with a good after market stock and nice checkering, pacific receiver. I've been having a ball with it and a can of Lyman 311284s I found in my Dad's stuff. What a great rifle, but it never occurred to me it had much in common with the 340.
