Hi folks. I have read the posts on this forum and found them to be very helpful.
I have a Krag that I bought several years ago. Through this forum I know that I don't have an original carbine. However, I do have a very nice carbine.
It has a ser # of 178XXX. The receiver has Springfield 1898 on it. The barrel is 20" long. The cartouche on the left side of the stock has a date of 1899. There is a U on the handguard ring. The barrel, stock and bolt look newer than the receiver. There is a C on the right side of the rear sight.
My question is. Does it have any value. I am going to retire soon and am cleaning out my safe. Some things I will keep and some I will not.
The other question is how do I add more than one Picture?
