So my 78 year old gunsmith just gave me a Model 1898 Springfield 30-40 Krag. After some preliminary research, it appears to be a rifle verison that was sporterized, cut down to "carbine length", Redfield Peep sight installed, magazine cut-off removed.

I produce videos for some folks in the gun industry, and initially I was looking for a 30-30 as a test rifle. It was by accident how I acquired this piece of American Military History!

Anyways, I am excited to learn about this caliber and rifle!
