And this one is ready to go as a GAF carbine.  Nicely cut down 1898.

I'd be real tempted to keep that first one as-is, and make it my go-to deer rifle. I really like a nice peep sight.

My Krag carbine came with a Lyman peep, and I still have it, put it back on now and then for armadillo shooting.

This one would be easy to re militarize to an 1899 carbine, or an Engineers Carbine.

The second one is ending and hasn't been bid on. Man I wish I had the money lying around.

That makes two of us. I'd love to get a Krag. They're as cool as can be.

Nebraska Gun in Lincoln had a sporterized cut down 1894 today for, I believe it was, $350
