Once again, My thanks to all for the appreciative comments. This project seemed to go on forever because of cash flow and other project interruptions. This is perhaps the most detailed custom rifle project ever accomplished in my shop. Little things, like the gold line on the sight wheel and the "clam shell" engraving on the rib were imagined years ago but only added at the very end of the job. Enough time to forget about them.
I'm delighted that the Krag is completed and delivered and more so because Kurt is a shooter and hunter and the rifle will see the field and quite probably some blood. I've never been particularly prolific but that little 24k tombstone graces a few dozen fine guns, revolvers, muzzleloaders and rifles.
