Description:
US SPRINGFIELD Model 1898 KRAG Bolt Action Carbine
Used in the Philippine-American War!
Here we present a U.S. Springfield Krag-Jorgenson Bolt Action Carbine, made at the turn of the 20th Century in 1899. This would have started out life as a full-length rifle and was subsequently shortened to a carbine format. Names after its inventors, Norwegian Royal Artillery officer Ole Hermann Johannes Krag and civilian Erik Jorgensen, the Krag-Jorgensen rifle was the first small caliber smokeless powder repeating long arm to be adopted by the U.S. Army. This rifle also marked the beginning of the change from large caliber/low muzzle velocity ammo to smaller caliber/higher energy rounds for military applications. Fifty-three different models were tested and rejected before the Army’s 1892 adoption of the Krag-Jorgensen.
This old US Krag has been modified for civilian use. Many still use these old rifles for hunting. The receiver is marked “U.S. MODEL 1898. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY.” The stock bears the original government inspector marks “P” in a circle behind the trigger guard.
The overall condition is fair. 75% of the blue finish remains. The markings are clear. The stock is solid. The bore is very good with nice rifling. The action is functional.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 22 inches.
Caliber: .30-40 Krag
Overall condition as seen in photos.
