SPRINGFIELD 1898 CARBINE SERIAL NUMBERS CRACK
If it's an early 1896 carbine I think I'd pass on shooting it though as the value would exceed the enjoyment - the stocks are old and have been known to crack with a frequency I find disconcerting. I'd say reloading can reduce the cost of shooting Krags but that's outside of my ken as I rarely shoot them - just cheaper to shoot the. Ammunition is commercially available but will cost more than feeding an '03 or M1 some of that HXP Orest has been referencing.

The DCM carbines were converted at Benecia Arsenal.They will have 22 inch barrels and a M1903 front sight installed on a turned down barrel.It's pretty obvious on inspection.But the stock and stock fittings are carbine parts used in the manufacture of these.īarrel muzzle diameters are different on rifles and carbines.A cut rifle barrel with the original sight reinstalled will generally be of the wrong dimensions.A rifle barrel at the muzzle will measure very close to. Keep in mind large numbers of the 96 and 98 carbines were updated to 99 specifications.96 models were updated to 98 specifications.Altered carbines are worth less than unaltered but it takes a part by part inspection to determine this.
