Description:
Nicely sporterized Springfield U.S. Krag rifle in .30-40 Krag caliber. Here we have a Springfield Model 1896 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 example has been nicely sporterized at some point. The barrel has a bright shiny bore and has been shortened to 22-3/4". The rear sight is a Pacific receiver sight with a Lyman banded front sight. A nicely shaped sporter stock with checkering has been fitted. This is a classic American sporterized militray rifle.
