U.S. Springfield M1898 Krag Rifle – Made in 1898

Full length Springfield Model 1898 Krag rifle, in .30-40 Krag. Actually made in 1898. (Serial # 14640X.) Nice original metal finish. Nice wood – appears to be original finish. Top handguard is missing, but replica handguards are widely available. (See: this link.) Includes a new, well-made replica leather sling. Bright, shiny bore! A historical records check shows that it was issued to Company I of the 10th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry. That regiment was called up and saw service in Cuba, during the Spanish-American War. However, given its 1898 date of manufacture, this rifle was probably issued to the 10th after their return from Cuba. (NFAB-110)
