    Dupage Krag Carbine restoration so far.

    Here is the progress of my "Carbine"restoration,it had a generic block of wood attached to cut off forend,a hole w/screw through sideplate attaching a blank adapter inside,no safety,handguard or rear sight.,I carved,and attached a new end with matching grain,and w/band spring and installed mostly carbine rear sight and handguard from S&S firearms.I didn't have a Krag rear sight bar,so I cut a springfield 03 bar and silver soldered back together w/Krag top,but I don't have the peep hole slide for the center,and I don't have a carbine band but it sure shoots good.Here she is:
