Why this Krag carbine performs for precision shooting
The .30-40 Krag cartridge offers balanced ballistics with manageable recoil, consistent grouping, and proven stability from the 22 3/4″ round barrel. The bright bore and strong rifling reported on this example are critical for accuracy — rifling that’s sharp and a clean bore directly translate to repeatable, precise impacts at typical rifle ranges. The smooth bolt and correct receiver markings reflect careful maintenance and arsenal conversion history that preserve functional integrity.
Period upgrades and service history
The documented Springfield Armory conversion (1906–1916) and the added Model 1905 front sight — though not a government-installed sight in all cases — add to the rifle’s narrative. Collectors value the JSA cartouche over 1902 on the stock; combined with serial 206332 and visible arsenal markings, these details establish provenance and verify service lineage.
As a Bolt Action representative, this Springfield Armory carbine is priced at $3295.99 — a figure that reflects both its shooting-capable condition and collectible attributes. View product details and pricing
