SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR Era Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1898 KRAG Military Rifle Also Used in the PHILIPPINE-AMERICAN War
Description: SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR Era Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1898 KRAG Military Rifle Also Used in the PHILIPPINE-AMERICAN War Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1898 Krag-Jorgensen Bolt Action Rifle, made just before the turn of the 20th Century in 1898. 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. Around 500,000 "Krags" in .30 Army (.30-40) caliber were produced at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts from 1894 to 1904. 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 very good. Original finish and patina. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition, bright with strong rifling. The stock is solid. Inspector markings visible. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 30 inches. Caliber: .30-40 Krag (.30 ARMY) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2000 #244552 Price: $2,000.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
