Seeking an 1896 30-40 Krag Carbine stock

outlawmetalwork · 01-13-2008, 03:53 PM

Anyone know where I can find an original, (or a good replica) 1896 carbine stock with all the parts?
I bought my U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1896 about 11 years ago from my ex wife's grandfather for $150. It's in original condition, except for a "sporterized" homemade stock. Fit & function are excellent, & it's a great shooter with mild reloads. Still one of my favorite rifles to take out to the range. I'd like to find an original style stock for it just so it's as close to original looking as possible. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I've got one. It's a cut down '96 rifle stock. The barrel band is held in place with a brass rod abt. 3/32. I was going to fix it, found another stock, It was a '98 carbine stock modified to '96 configuration. So it's in the basement collecting dust. you can Email me
EGREGG@HUGHES.NET if interested

I had seen the Military Krag Carbine Stock on page 911 of catalog #24
New American Walnut semi-inlet stock
item # 703160 not shure if they still have them or what they cost today , matching handguards also require final fit & finish Item #704220.
