Bud also bought a an early Marlin 22 LR 1920,s 39, a over under 8x57 and a shotgun all with the same quality of work, he would only work on his own guns, amazing work and very modest. I asked my bud to name me in his will on the 30 40 perfect fit and balance.

I've never seen one in person. I did remember they are known for a very smooth action... I've never been interested in one till now cool

I wonder how many hours of work went into that?

Beautiful Krag, that O/P edition! I particularly like the shallow classy-classic pistol grip angle and the ramp front!
I Like the Krag lines. I have a half dozen and of those only one original. It's just a '98 rifle, but great shape! Most of mine are home crafted sporters. One not. Below my 'handsome' gal and my 'era typical'. Something nifty, maybe gratifying about holding a Krag in your hands! Bit short stock for my comfortable shooting (as many rifles) but the mild 30-40 round avoids problems.
Thanks for posting your svelte sporter!

Best!
John

Beautiful work. A Krag sporter like that is on my bucket list!
