CLASSIC CUSTOM 1898 KRAG SPORTING RIFLE, RECEIVER #156XXX, MADE 1898

Description:
CLASSIC CUSTOM 1898 KRAG SPORTING RIFLE, RECEIVER #156XXX, MADE 1898. This is a really nicely stocked and finished .30-40 Krag calibersporting rifle probably made between the World Wars. It has been fully reblued and fitted with a Lyman receiver sight. The tapered barrel measures 24” and unless you have it in bright light with magnification, it’s very difficult to find the original rear sight screw holes that have been expertly filled. The front sight is a Lyman marked blade/bead pinned in a base sweated to the barrel. The classic walnut stock has a cheek piece, smooth steel shotgun butt plate, pistol grip cap, ebony forend tip and nicely executed extensive checkering on the forend and pistol grip. It is also fitted with quick detachable swivel studs/swivels and comes with a military style sling. Action is tight and the bore is excellent. Surprisingly few sporters were made on the Krag action as most during this time were made on 1903 Springfields or 1917 Enfields. Some early gunsmith put a lot of time, effort and talent into this one! An additional plus is the serial number puts this one in the desirable  "antique" catagory, so no FFL is required. $1150.
