My Krag is a Stoeger Peerless restock, a $20.00 item in an early Shooter's Bible, including beautiful steel grip cap and buttplate. Checkering, which mine doesn't have, is $3.50 for stock and about the same for the forend. The sight on mine is a nice Redfield with no visible model designation. The shaping is about as good as a Griffin and Howe. $20.00 included all the labor and metal work on the original Krag. The fully inletted stock by itself was $6.50. Frank's Krag is a beautiful example of what can be done with the original wood. By the way, mine also came from a Pennsylvania auction.
