Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Springfield Model 1892-99 is a series of bolt-action rifles designed by Norwegians known as Krag-Jørgensen rifles. The United States Army adopted these rifles in 1892 as their standard military longarms. Chambered for the U.S. caliber .30-40 Krag cartridges. The Springfield Armory manufactured all versions and variants under license between 1892 and 1903. These rifles gained fame due to their use in the Spanish-American War.
Despite its popularity, uniqueness, and efficiency, the side-loading gate mechanism of the Krag was slow and cumbersome to reload during combat compared to the clip-loaded Spanish Mausers. As a result, the U.S. Krag was replaced starting in 1903 with the Springfield rifle M1903, which was essentially a copy of the Mauser. However, some design elements of the Krag, such as the cocking piece, were still retained. The American Krags are the most abundant and affordable of all Krag variants, although many have been sporterized. To this day, firearm collectors remain fond of them.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
