What is so special about it?
Here is a link to a Krag
for sale on gun broker. It is in nice shape but I do not think it is worth more than 5000 dollars. Am I missing something? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/875581630

must be the "Unissued U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1898 .30-40 Krag Jorgensen Bolt Action Rifle.....Many of the guns are new in the box and many were never even opened or removed fom the protective wrappings" that are the selling point. The rifle pictured looks like it was oiled up like a weight lifter before the competition. If I could get a Krag in the box new never opened and Uncle Trump give me his spare change I might drop that much on one - IF FACT IS Proven, but not on a internet buy.

Well it got bid up to $5 K ... that was not the opening price. The market has spoken.

A common model in very nice condition, maybe it is in a crate with nine other Krags!
IMHO - Bidders are over-paying about 3 to 4 times realistic value.
Springfield did not pack Krag rifles in individual boxes and wrapping.
