3040 KRAG RIFLE

jeweler jim

<div class="IPBDescription">Going to start selling some of the "old man's guns...</div>I finally evicted the spiders from their home in the barrel and the bore is mirror, the wood is excellent and I have the documentation from the arsenal when it was shipped through the DCM program (1930). Gun cost $1.50 and $2.00 to cut the barrel to 22" and put on 1903 front sight (I want more than $3.50 however). Manufacturing date is 1899.<br />
<br />
DD will at some point be adding some pictures that we took. I have since cleaned it up and the some of the fuzz and Green Crud on the leather sling in now clened off. I didn't spend a lot of time but wanted to make it more presentable for examination by prospective buyers. <br />
<br />
Also have 140 new brass (100 RP & 40 WW) and 60 new loaded cartridges (Winchester Super X 180 Gr. Powerpoint [SP]), along with Lyman shell holder (no dies).<br />
<br />
One thousand firm or twelve fifty and we can haggle. Send me a personal message and we can make arrangements to inspect the gun. I might be bringing it to the next gunshow at Bristol in April.<br />

Jim. Nice pictures of a nice rifle. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usabig.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':usabig:' /> I'm sure this won't be for sale very long.

Not a lot of traffic in personal messages on it to this point. Will be trying to go to the gun show at Bristol to show it to a couple of people. No rush on my part and it will take the right person with the right want/need to go after it. <br />
<br />
It obviously shows better in person than in the pictures (cleaned it since they were taken). Also have a canvas cartridge belt that came with the gun. About twenty rounds in it and I believe a couple of them are armor piercing, but what do I know. Don't know what to ask for the belt.
