I recently acquired an old Krag rifle Model 1898 (as a "shooter") that someone invested some time modifying.  The bore appears to be in excellent condition.  The S/N is 1859xx.  I am hoping you folks can answer a coupe questions I have.
1) Is standard Win and Rem factory production ammo safe to use in this model rifle?
2) Can you tell me when it was made?
Thanks,
Lee
