	Just bought a 1898 sporterized rifle this weekend at an estate auction. It has a weaver scope 4x, 1901 rear sight good barrel. Last night I thought it may be illegal because I couldn't find the serial numbers. At midnight I thought it won't hurt to take apart to look for any numbers. Under the scope mount I found the numbers. Two digits are messed up from the drill holes but I believe I can see enough to make out 417881. I was lucky enough to also win the bid on 60 rounds of Remington 30-40.

	Dandy looking sporter. Looks like a Bishop stock, which is pretty common on Krag sporters. It appears that it once had a Redfield No-Drill receiver rear sight. What is the barrel length as measured from the muzzle to the closed bolt face? How does it shoot?

	24 inches is a common cutoff length for Krag sporters. It should be a pretty decent shooter and hunting rifle!
