1899 Philippine Constabulary Krag Carbine

[renegadecow]

While this specific variant only appeared in two films (AFAIK) the Krag rifle in general was used heavily as stand-ins in countless others. I chose to make the PC Krag specifically as it is considered an extremely rare bird (real PC Krags, not school guns passed off as such as much as they look the same), it or any of the Krags do not exist as off the shelf replicas, and that it fits well for my intentions of using it as a prop for WWII reenactments and airsoft games as part of the guerrilla movement here in the Philippines. Mostly fabricated from wood and aluminum, I used a JG M70 airsoft bolt action rifle for the internals.

Well done! That clearly took a lot of time and patience! Building the stock from scratch must have been a fun challenge.

Krags were/are great weapons that many don't know about, nice build!
