US Springfield Model 1898 Krag-Jorgensen rifle is presumably chambered .30-40 Krag, but please verify for yourself. The 30" barrel has a surprisingly good bore with strong rifling. Action is smooth and locks tight. Rear artillery sight works. Magazine box has strong detents. Barrel is a fairly uniform and pleasant silver-plum. Receiver and magazine assembly retain some nickel finish. Stocks are sound with reasonable, moderate handling marks. Stock is proud of steel at butt plate, trigger guard, receiver tang and barrel bands. Nice historic piece should be a good investment.
