Description:
1899 KRAG CARBINE WITH 1ST CAVALRY UNIT MARK 30-40 SERIAL NUMBER: 351412 BARREL: 22" CALIBER: 30-40 KRAG. MANUFACTURED: 1899 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 long arm, 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 long arm 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. American Krag's are the most plentiful and affordable of all three Krag variants, although many are sporterized, and they remain popular with collectors today. Metal is blue finish steel with banded front blade and 1902 rear sight. Bolt action with internal 5 round side loading magazine. Walnut oil finished stock with boxed JSJ 1899 and Circle P at the wrist. #1 over crossed swords on the right side of the butt. [ 1st cavalry post the Rough Riders by one year. ] with trapdoor steel butt plate. No cleaning kit. CONDITION: Metal has 25% finish with patina, Bore is lightly frosted with strong rifling. Wood is very good but has three hair line cracks at the butt from age. .30-40 Krag
