With some help from the people here on this forum, I have one on the way that might work at a very reasonable price. Ironically the serial number is within 50 of the one I have.

One comment I would like to make. I have always kinda kept to myself about my hobby of collecting 30-40 krags. It was a kind of a silent pride to look and polish them up. Gun enthusiasts, in my humble opinion, get a bad rap in our society. So I just go about my life not really stepping out of my shell. I have to say that coming to this forum has been a very positive experience, right from the registration with Dave's help to everyone helping in their own way. I appreciate each of you and your positive forward thinking comments. This has renewed my faith in many things about our great country. Thank you all for allowing me to be apart of this.
