your krag rifle can go for between 400-1750 dollars depending on condition and whether it is a rifle or carbine model,and its rare it is.I would have it apprasied by a pro.
i have a 1896 30-40 krag can you send me some photos to compare mine with? Also how much is this rifle worth? I also have a Krag sn 22 1894. How much in good condition?
What conflict's has the Springfield 30-40 Krag been involved in ?
go to this link: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_8_52/ai_n16498973 very good info and may give you a better understanding of value. I do know that the 1894's are more valuable then the later years.
Your serial number indicates that your Krag rifle/carbine was made in the year 1899.The value cannot be determined without a more detailed description of the amount of original finish remaining on the wood and metal,the condition of the bore,if there are any correct cartouches located on the rifle stock etc. All these items have a bearing on your rifle/carbine,s value.
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.

I am assuming you are seeing the 1894 date on the left side of the receiver. That actually is the year of manufacture, the gun is properly identified as a Model 1892 Krag, Second Type. They were all rifles, with a 30" barrel. Only two original carbines were made in 1894, so chances are you dont have one of those two. It is very unfortunate that the rifle was cut down. Original Model 1894 rifles can reach several thousand dollars in value. sales@countrygunsmith.net
