Pictured are my first Krag and my most recent...The rougher of the two was my Grandad's. He served in France in WWI. While the family told us he brought this home with him, it might very well be he acquired it in the 20's after he returned. Dad said Grandpa was a good shot with the rifle and Dad shot his first deer with it-with full length original barrel and stock. Grampa was a good blacksmith and welder but a poor gunsmith. He cobbled it together and it sat that way for many years until given to me three or four years ago. It actually shoots plenty good enough to take a deer which I intend to do. As usual for me, I couldn't stop with one...others have followed including this last 1896 which was very nicely put together I think.
