SPRINGFIELD 1ST MODEL 1892 KRAG RIFLE.

SPRINGFIELD 1ST MODEL 1892 KRAG RIFLE. SN 1446. Cal. 30/40. 30″ bbl. This is a very good example of an unmolested Model 1892/1894 Krag rifle. It shows all of the early features, including a flush muzzle on the bbl, the one piece steel ramrod, front bbl band with no relief cuts and the 1st Model Krag bolt and extractor assembly, as well as the 1st Model rear sight. Buttstock and buttplate also show the earliest type with the no-trap buttplate, with the earliest slightly round-headed screws on buttplate and a crisp 1895 dated cartouche. PROVENANCE: Peter Wainwright Collection. CONDITION: Bbl and receiver show little finish and a mixture of silvering and patina that make it pleasing to look at. The bolt assembly retains some brightness to the body, but with an aging patina on the bolt handle and thinning blue on the extractor assembly. Bbl bands show approx. 50% of the orig finish with the balance turning brown. Triggerguard assembly shows approx 75% of orig blue, as does the rear sight. Ramrod shows better than 90% of its orig blue with some surface rust accumulating under the wood line. Buttplate shows spotty patina with a little pluming on the top-strap. Buttstock and handguard show exceptional for a Krag of this vintage with nice, sharp fingered grooves and only minor scuffing. Mechanics are crisp and smooth with the bore showing dark with heavy use and only slight signs of orig rifling. Rifle shows, overall, to be a good example of an 1892 survivor. 4-38213 BEK7 (10,000-15,000)
