SPRINGFIELD KRAG 1ST INFANTRY
Description: 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 longarm, chambered in U.S. caliber .30-40 Krag. 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. THIS IS A DATE STAMPED 1903,ASSIGNED TO 1ST INFANTRY AS STAMPED. BORE CONDITION IS VERY GOOD AND GREAT ACTION.ALL APPEARS ORIGINAL! 1st Infantry Regiment "In 1900, following occupation duty in Cuba, the regiment was preparing for shipment to China to participate in the Boxer Rebellion. Instead, the regiment was detoured to deal with the rebellion on the Philippine Islands which had also been captured by the United States in the Spanish–American War. The regiment would fight in this guerrilla war in the Philippines from 1900–1902 and again from 1906–1908. Subsequently, the regiment was redeployed to garrison duties in Oahu, Hawaii.""
