Description:
JSA/1902 U.S. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1898 KRAG .30-40 ARMY Military RIFLE C&R

Used in the PHILIPPIAN-AMERICAN War

Here we present a C&R U.S. Springfield Krag-Jorgensen Bolt Action Rifle, made just after the turn of the 20th Century in 1902. Named after its inventors, Norwegian Royal Artillery Officer Ole Hermann Johannes Krag and civilian Erik Jorgensen, the Krag-Jorgensen rifle was the first small caliber smokeless powder repeating long arm to be adopted by the U.S. Army.
The Krag–Jørgensen rifle in .30 Army was used in the Boxer Rebellion, the Spanish–American War and the Philippine–American War. A few carbines were used by United States cavalry units fighting Apache in New Mexico Territory and preventing poaching in Yellowstone National Park. Two-thousand rifles were taken to France by the United States Army 10th–19th railway engineers during World War I.

This rifle also marked the beginning of the change from large caliber/low muzzle velocity ammo to smaller caliber/higher energy rounds for military applications. Fifty-three different models were tested and rejected before the Army’s 1892 adoption of the Krag-Jorgensen.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Traces of original finish are present on the barrel with a smooth gray patina on the frame and bolt. Dark bore. The action is strong. This example sports a solid stock with minimal wear. Legible cartouche on the left wrist. Sharp markings. Repair nail is driven into the wood underneath the magazine box.
