Serial # 111108. .30-40 Krag caliber bolt action rifle with a 23” barrel. The bore is very good, mostly clean with light fouling/frosting in the grooves. The rifle started life as a US Model 1898 Krag military rifle made in 1897 that was subsequently sporterized by replacing the military barrel, cutting back the stock and adding sporting sights. The blued metal finish on the barrel and receiver is a re-blue and is in very good condition showing little wear with light scuffs on the left side plate. The receiver shows evidence of buffing and has taken on a plum hue. Front ramp sight installed with a Lyman peep sight attached to the right rear of the receiver. The plain walnut cut down military stock has been refinished and is in very good condition showing little wear. The nose has been painted black. There is a faint illegible cartouche visible. Steel butt plate. The action works fine. C&R.
