Specs ?

1898 30/40 Krag Jorgensen. It's been sported out by necessity. When it was found, the original stock was broken beyond repair and the end of the barrel crushed. Since my father in law is a gunsmith, he ordered a solid chunk of walnut from Winchester and made a custom stock and cut the barrel down. Unmodified and in excellent condition (like this on is now) they fetch somewhere above 4K.
