I know S&S Firearms sells semi finished ones for way cheaper than 300, but it seems that they are out of stock at the moment, still here's a link. Since boyd's stopped making them it's been hard to find any good ones, but I've looked up a couple sources: Here's a before and after of mine (still has the bubba front sight in this photo) Also mine had a hole drilled in the side of the receiver for some sort of diopter sight and leaving it open hasn't caused any problems for me, and you stop seeing it after a while. If you're looking to put in a bit of time, you can get yourself a beautiful and fun to shoot rifle.
You can find original or new replacement stocks online for around 40-175 bucks US, but I got a buddy of mine to make a stock for me from walnut since my buttplate was from a model 1894 or 1896 I believe which is wider, while my gun was an 1898, so the plate wouldnt fit an 1898 stock properly. Tbf I got lucky on some Ebay bids but it's still possible. For mine i managed to get a buttplate, barrel band with swivel, back swivel, and sight for around $120 CAN all together.
Krag spare parts like barrel bands and sling swivels are relatively cheap compared to some other milsurps, especially milsurps from over 100 years ago. Even horribly beat up krags that are still milspec can go for around $1000-1400 in Canada, at least in ontario. It depends on how much you spent on it when you got it, but Restored Krags can go for some high prices if you're looking to flip it. I picked myself up a horribly sporterized 1898 Krag that was cut down to 24in as well at a gunshow for around $350 (in Canadian Buckaroos) and had a really great time giving it back its beauty.
