For sale is a Springfield 1896 Krag Carbine bolt-action rifle in 30-40 Krag. Serial number- 129674. Mfg. 1898. This rifle is in great condition considering its age. The bore looks particularly clean. There is a small crack on the top wood barrel handguard near where the receiver meets the handguard.

PLEASE NOTE: While not entirely sporterized like other surplus battle rifles. It still has the original stock, barrel, front sight, and receiver. The rifle has had the original rear swivel sight removed and replaced with a commercial peep sight, the receiver was drilled/tapped for an optic (scope), and a butt pad was added to the stock.

The Krag Model 1898 Rifle was the first smokeless powder repeating firearm adopted by the United States. Only 5,001 Model 1898 carbines were manufactured by Springfield Armory. 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.
