Discovering one shoulder arm for both branches would be a huge cost savings and reduce any logistical issues. The War Department wanted to find a rifle that met the demands of the infantry and cavalry, thus reducing cost and connecting both branches.
#Springfield 1898 krag value serial number
The serial number of this Krag falls in the very rare group that is a Board of Ordinance rifle. The handle is marked on each side: one side is " 34," and the other side is " 2 D." Marked "26" on the pommel. The bayonet has " US" and " 1902" marked on the ricasso. Comes complete with a rare Krag Bayonet made specifically made for the 26" barrel. Has " P" firing proof marking behind triggerguard. Has cartouche on left side of stock of " JSA" over " 1902" in script. Markings on left side of the receiver in two lines " US" over " Model 1898 Springfield Armory" followed by serial number. Blue barrel barrel bands with hardened receiver. What I won't do is shoot reloads from people I don't know.30-40 caliber, 26" barrel length, S/N 387787. I do know, and trust, the gentleman I acquired them from. I'll also shoot the Remington Model 8 I have this summer. In casting aspersions on the major US cartridge companies I think you do stretch it further than is warranted. I understand the reluctance to shoot reloads not loaded by one's self. What ammunition am I going to use? Factory Remington. In respect to wishes from the gentleman I acquired it from I'll be shooting it this summer. I have a Krag rifle worth considerably more than that one. Does anyone who reloads have that track record? "No." Their "QA/QC" is tested billions of times per year. I'd shoot factory Remington or Winchester ammunition before I'd shoot ammo reloaded by anyone. You understand there is much nonsense in claiming that "QA/QC" issues exist with "Remington or Winchester stuff" when nobody has the ability to make cartridge cases outside of companies like them? Ergo you'll be using their cases. If you load it yourself, you will know that it has been done correctly. Given the QA/QC problems associated with US-made name-brand rimfire ammo, I don't think I would even shoot relatively new factory Remington or Winchester stuff in the rifle. If you load it yourself, you will know that it has been done correctly.īut I would assemble the ammo from known components, using new empty cases and loaded with a well-recognized mild load.

If that was my rifle, I would definitely shoot it.

What would it be worth if it had a cracked bolt? You have a very nice rifle, presently probably at the high end of what an issue Krag is worth.

Around here, the guys who peddle reloads are known to polish up, resize & reload cartridge cases that should be scrapped.Įxcessively hot loads are known to crack Krag bolts. You do not know what the range of charge weights and you do not know anything about the quality of the used cartridge cases into which those other unknowns are assembled. You do not know what type of powder is loaded in those cases. I must point out that you have no idea what is in those gunshow reloads, even if the cartridge boxes are labeled.
