Item Description: This is another of my "never got to" projects. These came from the CMP. Back in 2011, the CMP had incomplete Krags for sale. I bought a couple thinking I could cobble together one complete rifle. I still needed parts and I never finished the project. You get everything in the picture. Included are:

Two complete bolts
Two Barreled receivers (barrels are pretty ugly though)
Two stocks. Longer stock has nice 1902 cartouche. Cut down stock has a faint cartouche, but can't make it out
Two hand guards
Two complete trigger assemblies (in the receivers now)
Two complete loading gates or whatever they are called (can't see in the pic because they are on the other side of the receiver)
All the extra parts shown

Terms are cash picked up in Roswell. We are moving and are in the midst of packing. So, I don't have a lot of time to drive long distance for a meet. A blanket "I'll take it" either in the thread or in PM without negotiation on price or location wins. If we are negotiating either price or distance, an "I'll Take It" without qualifications wins.

How are the bores?

How are the bores?

Bores on both are OK. There is decent rifling and some brightness. There is some darkness in the grooves. I was surprised when I looked this morning. I remembered them being worse.

Let's do $400 on the Krag project. I figure there is $600+ in parts here.

What parts are needed to finish a build?

It's been a while since I worked on it. To make one complete rifle you would need at least the rear hand guard, rear sights and front barrel band. I think that is it, but might be wrong. The side plate was also fitted for a blank adaptor. It may need to be replaced to function without the adaptor. These apparently came from movie studios that used these in films in the 1940s-1950s (hence, the blank adaptor). There were some at the CMP that were marked MGM on the receiver. I wish I had a chance to get one of those. That would have been cool.
