Description:
****SOLD**** Here we have a nicely sporterized Springfield U.S. Krag rifle in .30-40 Krag caliber. The Springfield Model 1892–99 Krag–Jørgensen rifle is a Norwegian-designed bolt-action rifle that was adopted in 1892 as the standard United States Army military longarm, chambered for U.S. caliber .30-40 Krag cartridges. All versions and variants were manufactured under license by the Springfield Armory between 1892 and 1903 and famously served as the longarm during the Spanish–American War. Although "Krags" were popular, unique and efficient, the side loading gate mechanism was slow and cumbersome to reload in combat compared to the clip loaded Spanish Mausers the Krag was up against. Thus, the U.S. Krag was replaced beginning in 1903 with the introduction of the M1903 Springfield rifle, which was essentially a copy of a Mauser, although some design elements of the Krag remained, such as the cocking piece. This particular rifle has been sporterized by shortening the barrel and stock. The 24 inch barrel has a good bore and strong rifling. Sights are a hooded ramped front and ladder style adjustable rear. The metal components have lost much of the original finish and some surface pitting exists. The stock is good while exhibiting one hairline crack on the left side at the bottom of the magazine area leading back towards the trigger guard. While not exactly pristine it would be a good shooter or field rifle.
