I am probably at this time the newest member of this forum.
Last night i decided to look in the safe and low and behold i found what i believe to be a modified krag. I tired to identify the date of manufacture. According to all i can tell i have a serial number that shouldn't exist.  It says model 1898 U.S. springfield armory.The number is 489448. I cleaned her up and now need to find out how she shoots. I haven't found my military piece for my collection but hope to fill that soon. I would just like to find out what I can about this one.
Thanks in advance.
