Springfield Armory ~ Model 1898 ~ .30-40 Krag
Description: Very good condition, some finish wear, nicks, scratches and small dents. The Springfield Model 1892–99 Krag–Jorgensen 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. .30-40 Krag Price: $1,199.99 Curio/Relic: Yes Chambers: Bolt action Metal Condition: Very good Wood Condition: Very good Barrels: 30 Triggers: Factory trigger Stock Dimensions: 13" LOP Fore End: Wood handguards Butt Pad: Metal butt plate Sights: "Adjustable ladder rear, bead front sights Item Location: La Vista, NE Contact Seller |
