I was able to talk to the stockmaker. This rifle was built in 1985 using an unissued Krag action acquired from the DCM. Paul Marquart did all of the metalwork including one of his match grade barrels.

I have always wanted a Krag sporting rifle but I naver expected to find one of this level of workmanship. Purchasing this rifle was probably my most serious act of fiscal misconduct to date.

Fortunatly, my wife can't tell the difference between a Holland and Holland and a Harrington and Richardson but she can count.
