.22LR caliber, 30" barrel with two barrel bands, S/N 460533. Blued finish, smooth, straight-gripped walnut stock. Receiver with standard Springfield M1898 Krag rifle markings and additionally marked CAL./.22 and 115. Correct hole is present between the words "SPRINGFIELD" and "ARMORY" for the extractor cam. Correct off-set bore and correct supplemental extractor in place. No cartouche present, triggerguard marked with electric pencil: 6715. M1901 rear sight, pinned blade front sight, sling swivels. Trapdoor in butt for cleaning rods that are not present. Only 841 Krag .22 Gallery Rifles were produced ca 1906-1907, with some being fully assembled and inspected at Springfield and the balance being sent out as barreled actions to be dropped into existing stocks in the field. This gun appears to be one of those latter gallery guns. A very scarce US martial practice rifle not often seen for sale. Condition: Very good. Retains much of the blued finish, with some fading, thinning, wear and loss. All markings remain crisp in the metal. Mechanically functional, very good bore. Stock lightly sanded with no cartouches and scattered bumps and dings.
