Have a quick question. I have a Krag 1898 rifle and an 1899 carbine. The rifle is dirty/ grimy from long term storage in a basement. The carbine appears to have had a varnish applied over the finish. What would be the proper way to clean both of these? I already know, no sandpaper!

Last Sat, I bought an 1898 Krag rifle from an estate auction. I was informed yesterday that it came from our community bank. As I was told, it was issued to the bank during the depression. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I have these other 2 Krags, and would appreciate any info that you have.
1896 rifle #40373
1899 carbine #347391
Thanks in advance!

Good morning! Yesterday, at an estate auction, I bought an 1898 Krag # 189227. It has a
n 1899 cartouche. It has cosmoline in it, and what I believe to be the original sling. I'll try to get pics up later. Any idea where this rifle may have been sent after manufacturing?
