Hello Everyone. I am RICKGEE and this is my first post. This site has got my attention, and looks like it is going to be fun.
Recently a very good friend of mine passed away. Surprisingly he left me a Kragicon 30-40, Springfield Armory Model 1898 (S/N 249481). Beautiful Rifle. I know for a fact this Rifle has been stored in a Safe since 1961. I do not believe it has been fired since that time frame. My friend inherited this Krag from his Father in 1961. The Rifle has been very well kept.

I would like to know when the Rifle was made. Was it a long Rifle or Carbine (presently it's a Carbine). Was it issued for action? Some were issued during WWI. A number were issued to the National Guard during WWI. And, when was this Rifle released to the public?
It would be nice to obtain all the info I can for future generations. Anyone out there know how to seek above info I desire? RickGee
