What is this 1898 krag serial number 430578 22 in bbl short stock no c on sight opening buttplate for clean kit rifle true carbine converted by factory carbine or after market converted carbine?
serial number suggests that your rifle was produced in the middle of 1903, about the time the Springfield 03 was taking the field. 1903 was the first year that the Krag rifles were only produced as carbines. Rifles ended in 1902. From the serial number, it appears this is what you have: an m1898 carbine produced in the middle of 1903. As a note, this is near the end oof complete production for the Krag, as production ended in 1904.
What firearms were used during World War 2?
The war years saw a lot of innovation in firearms design, but many of the arms were used in, and prior to, World War I. Since fully-automatic weapons have had restricted sales since 1934 I have no personal experience handling and shooting these arms due to their high cost and limited availabilty. I do own a few bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles that were used in this era. There were several arms that were developed during the war, some were mass-produced and others never made it much beyond the prototype stage. The single-shot Liberator 45 ACP handgun is one example of a WWII curiosity. Germany actually experimented with rifles that utilized barrels that were bent up to 90 degrees to fire around and over obstacles. Since this was a "world war" many nations and the arms adopted by their militaries saw action in the conflict. Nations involved in the war also shared arms and technologies in arms design and manufacture. In addition, companies that did not manufacture arms, but had manufacturing facilities and equipment that could be used to manufacture firearms parts or complete firearms were often contracted (or forced) to do so. The U.S. M1911A1 pistol is a great example; they were made by several U.S. companies during the war years including IBM, divisions of General Motors, and Singer (sewing machines). German Mauser rifles were made in some of the countries that Germany occupied during the war. Anyone that can build upon (or completely rewrite) what I've typed here is more than welcome to do so. I'm not professing to be an authority here, but this information is acurate to the best of my knowledge. This should be a good starting point to launch your Google searches for more information!
