*SPRINGFIELD ARMORY MODEL 1899 KRAG CARBINE.

*SPRINGFIELD ARMORY MODEL 1899 KRAG CARBINE. Cal. 30/40. SN 225691. This is a good example of a “end of the run” 1899 Krag Carbine. It retains a fair amount of finish, good wood, a decent bore and the correct sights. The bolt also has a headless cocking piece that is somewhat common on 1899 carbines. CONDITION: Receiver retains approx. 80% fading case colors with left cover retaining approx. 90%. Magazine cover retains approx. 90% of its color also. Bolt is polished with the extractor retaining approx. 95% of its fire blue. Bbl is in good condition, retaining approx 85-90% of its finish with some weather frosting on the outside as well as 3 or 4 small dings just above the front band. Bore is somewhat bright, but well used, however does show a fair amount of rifling (possibly leaded). Front and rear sights, as well as sight cover, all have the “C” markings in the proper places and are correct for this gun as well as retaining very good finish. Trigger guard assembly retains 95% of its bright orig blue with the buttstock retaining approx. 20% turning to plum with a rack number of “218” on the tang. Buttstock is in excellent condition with a very legible “1899” cartouche and the proof mark being just slightly less prominent. It has very sharp finger grooves and no significant marring at all, and is of the long wood type. Upper hand guard, which is the same as the rifle hand guard, is in excellent condition with no significant marring or cracks. Action works smoothly, soundly and is mechanically fine. Edwards Collection 4-58507 BK38 (900-1,800)
