Description:
Here we have a Springfield Model 1898 Krag bolt action carbine chambered in .30-40 Krag. 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 model 1898 is in quite good condition mechanically and physically with a very smooth and sure action. The metal components have some high edge wear and handling marks. Wood parts exhibit some dinks and marks that could be expected on a 122 year old service rifle. There is a small chip on the bottom of the stock just in front of the metal butt plate. The adjustable rear sight works as it should. This fine Springfield would make a great addition to a collection of militaria or a strong start to a new collection.
