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

Exactly where I'm parked Brian. (reply)

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.

Wonderful craftsmanship... (reply)

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

Yes, please. (reply)

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.

It looks like maple, really nice maple (reply)

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

What wood is the stock? Absolutely beautiful finish, but yes (reply)

Very strange setup.

There is a type of single shot rifle made in Germany/Austria (reply)

.......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.

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

I haven't decided whether or not I like it...
