WTS OR Krag Jorgensen

[STUKA]

Selling my 1898 Springfield..
Barrel has been shortened by Velzey to 22" (carbine length..it was already cut down when I bought it,no hate mail please)
Has a 1903 front sight with a Marble blade and a 1901 rear sight.
Velzey also installed the sights and test fired it.
(I havent fired it)
Receiver was made in 1902,and I bought it from an FFL after 941,so FFL IS required,sorry.
Stock "WAS" a nice original until someone sanded it down (see pics..it was like this when I bought it,no hate mail please)
Nice bore,action is smooth as to be expected.
Comes with 5 vintage boxes of factory ammo,and a repro sling.

I hate to get rid of it,but Im consolidating calibers,and I can use money!
asking $350 for all of it
No trades please,unless its for an AK,SKS,1911,or 38/357 revolver

Good looking "Sporter Carbine".
Those Krags make a dandy big game rifle!
Good luck in your sale.

STUKA! Don't do it! That's a fine little Krag! Far nicer than most of the back jobs which I suspect you saved it from being.

They are a joy to shoot. I parted sadly with my Krag scout when I had the big purge to fund the Thompson has and miss it. If I didn't have an original I would have kept it.

BTW - yours was made in 1902!

Back up,lower price.

The sanding isn't that big a deal to me, wish you were up here. Damn. To a purist it is a 1898 springfield, not a krag jorgensen. But that's me, a real krag is worth bucks, and pretty hard to find.

@coop44 I can assist in shipping it up to you if needed.

You are correct,of course...i changed the nomenclature.
Now are you gonna buy the stupid thing,or what?
