Title: Krag Identification Post by GunLover on Jan 27th, 2010 at 12:52am
Hi,
I was given a Krag by my Grandfather shortly before he passed away. I would like to find out as much as I can about the rifle, and a rough idea of how much it is worth. Here is the information I have: .30 - 40 Model 1898 Made at the U.S. Springfield Armory Serial# 143339 Barrel length: 30" Stock has been cut down No other identifying marks on barrel or stock Bluing is pretty much gone, some pitting, stock in good condition. It was purchased from a WWI vet who ran a hardware store. Grandpa used it for hunting deer. I've never fired the rifle, though I'd like to give it a try. I think it is a cool and unique weapon, and it is a great addition to my gun collection. Kinda makes me want to collect a few more Krags. :) I've attached one picture. Not sure how to attach multiple pictures. Thanks for your help. |
