only thing to make it better would be a set of period correct Lyman receiver sight. I like it a lot. J.Michael

.......that is built in this fashion, to the extent that it even has a firing mechanism that resembles a percussion lock. Various manufacturers and custom shops turn them out, with Kreighoff being the one I recall at the moment.

Very lovely, and cursed with a price that ensures I will never own one.

For many years I toyed with the idea of having Ron Scott stock a Browning BT99 for me in just such a fashion. I intended to have the rib removed and a Greener safety added. But then I am an Odd Fellow after all.

Very strange setup.

It is an attractive gun. It will be more attractive when it gets some patina on the wood and brass.

Not a lot of details about the rifle, I guess the stock is the show stopper, obviously.

Hard to establish a value for the rifle action and barrel alone, considering, but it seems the stock itself costs something along the line of $1K-$1.2.

Neat, but rich.

Someone obviously spent a lot of time and care to put it together, but it just does not look right to my eye.

A Krag is a Krag and a muzzle loader is a muzzle loader and ne'er the twain shall meet.

Still and all, I DO admire the work.

Edited to add: BTW, not a durn thing wrong with a 20" full stock Krag, ala' Mannlicher.

A classic Krag done in the style of Mannlicher carbines can be a thing of true beauty.
