You might try googling the serial number and variations of Krag 1898 ser number and Springfield 1898 and serial number. It might hit upon an auction sight or something.

Fantastic, Thanks.

If no on else steers you somewhere else, PM me your email address and I can send you a PDF file of dis-assembly instructions from the old military surplus rifle site.

That would certainly be wild to shoot.

Perhaps the magazine cutoff assembly is engaged. Unless your weapon has been modified, the cutoff switch is located on the left side of the receiver behind the top of the side plate. This allowed the magazine to be "cutoff" thereby avoiding waste of ammunition. Flip the switch.

Thank you John42768 for the answer and the pictures. It is indeed eye candy.

What's the bottom one?

S&S Firearms has them. They are listed as original Krag front sight blades.

Were Marines ever allowed to have beards?

Great stuff! I like that front sight protector.
