Noah's thread on his 1895 .30-40 got me to thinking about it. I never paid much attention to Krags until a couple of years back when I found a stripped, barreled action for dirt cheap. Not knowing how hard it would be to source the missing parts I passed. Then last year a sporterized Krag started showing up at the local shows but my want, cash flow and the seller never coincided. Finally, on the hog hunt with 86er in March, one of the hunters used his Grandfather's (Great Grandfather's? I forget offhand) to take a hog.
If I start looking for one, it would have to be a straight trade situation. I have a Win 75 I traded into not long ago that would be the trade fodder. I'm already .22 poor and did the deal mainly because there were no other offers for the rifle I was parting with. Based on my reading and looking, the value of a decent, sporterized Krag would be close to the value of the Winchester ($325-375).
What I sort of need now is convincing.
