Hello all, I bought my first Krag. I can feel the love for this rifle grow and all I've done is clean it. It's a model Springfield 1898, bayonet 1899 on ricasso and blued scabbard. To my delight there was an oiler and 3 piece cleaning rod in the stock. It has a 30" barrel. Serial number of rifle is 362866. On the right side of the stock is painted in white "9NY427". I guess this once belonged to the NY Guard?. Any help in I'd would be appreciated.
