U.S. Model 1898 Krag Bolt Action Rifle, #275770, .30-40 Krag cal., 30'' barrel, blued finish, walnut stock, blade front sight and Model 1902 rear sight. August 1900 production. Marked on left side of receiver ''U.S. MODEL 1898 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY'', and on left side of stock at the wrist with a boxed ''J.S.A. 1900'' cartouche; underside with a tiny stamped ''J.C'' above a circled ''P'' firing proof. Condition overall is about fine with the finish on the receiver toned to a light gray. Barrel and bands retain approx. 90% finish with three small dings on the top of the barrel. Finish on the buttplate is worn bright, now aged to a dull patina. Wood has an even color overall and both cartouches are crisp. There is an approx. half-inch carved letter ''A'' added to the left side of the stock. Condition overall is very good with added finish over stock dents the most noticeable below the stacking swivel and below the rear sight, with overall handling marks. The action and magazine operate smoothly; bright bore is excellent. A nice example of a classic U.S. Army rifle. Est.: $600-$800. (C&R)
