Title: Krag Springfield 1898 - 1903 Cartouche
Post by mike7 on Mar 7th, 2014 at 3:01am
Hi,
I have a 1903 marked Springfield Krag.  The condition is very nice, but it appears to have been modified.  The barrel measures 26" and has the same front sight as a 1903 Springfield 30-06. The rear sight appears to be that of model 1892.  The stock is very nice, as is the barrel and all other metal parts.  I believe 1903 was the last year Springfield Armory made this rifle.  Did the government modify these rifles after WW1?  Or could this be a custom job done by a handy gunsmith?  Looks great on display, but not sure what I've got.
Thank you,
Mike
