AWESOME!
Looks like i can chop that rail and only use the exsisting holes since i'm only going to mount a short red dot.
Krag pureists will hate me, but oh well. I'm also amazed by how many people have never heard of these rifles...

Interesting concept... very cool.
Is the stock a cut down rifle stock or a M1899 krag carbine stock. The DCM sold "NRA" Carbines that were cut down infantry rifles with M1903 front sights and M1899 stocks.
Anyway, have fun with it!
It looks to be a cut down stock.
It looks like this will be a fun project. I probably wont start the refinish untill after this hunting season.
This is what i'm going for....Classy euro style with a swedish optic...

Well i did the barrel and i'm pretty happy with the results...
Before (after the naval jelly and sanding)
After about 7 coats of Oxpho blue (applied with 0000 steel wool)
For comparison, the barrel after Oxpho Blue and the receiver in its current condition....
sorry for the cluttered background...lol

I never owned one myself, but a friend was heavily into Krags, he had four rifles and a carbine.
Smoothest bolt guns I have ever had the pleasure to shoot.
