I enjoy my Krag, but it's a (mostly) de-sporterized rifle that Bubba cut down to a "carbine" at some point, and I had to make my own handguard. Getting a "real" one from the CMP would be pretty cool, if it's serviceable. Same story for my 03A3 and my 1917 actually. Can't justify $1000/apiece, though, especially when I already have 3 good shooters and this would be rolling the dice on unknowns.
