My humble submission of a Krag sporter done in the pre-war style. It came to me with a "fullsome" Bishop Monte Carlo stock on it that required an aggressive weight loss program to release the more pleasing stock seen here. Forearm shortened and ebony tip added, as well as an ebony grip cap. Eleven coats gloss spar varnish, blocked out between coats and given a final rubout to dull it, finished with paste wax to bring up a soft luster. Next phase: rust blue everything and replace the Redfield sight with a NOS Lyman 48K that I've been hoarding. (It will overlap the "generous" inlet for the Redfield sight.)

Nicely done Gary, was it already checkered when you got it or did you do the checkering?
