Title: Need bayonet for Krag 1898 made 1903
Post by Krag415626 on Jan 23^rd, 2017 at 3:01am

I have m1898 Springfield krag sn#415626- stock is in good original condition. However, the forend was shortened many years ago exactly 15/16 of an inch to accommodate a longer bayonet grip handle. Were these rifles modified by soldiers to hold different bayonets? Any recommendations? Please help - thanks in advance!
