Hello,
I'm in possession of my dad's WW II rifle.
It's stamped 'U.S. Model 1898 Springfield Armory 450777

Researching the internet, I'm assuming it is a Kragicon
With a 1898 rear site

I would like to add some accessories for this rifle. If anyone has somethings they want to part with or know where to purchase, Please PM me.

First, What would be the correct sling. (org. is dry rotted)
Second would be a bayonet. Should it be stamped 1898 ??

There is just way too much info out there to process.

Also, Is there a good repro manual w/exploded diagrams out there that would be useful for stripping and proper cleaning ?

The Story on this rifle goes something like this; My dad was state side for most of WW II due to a bad eye. He was however deployed in the spring or summer of 1945, for the invasion of Japanicon, with this rifle.
