Description: Like many other armed forces, the U.S. Army searched for a new rifle in the early 1890s to replace their old Springfield Model 1873 "trapdoor" single-shot rifles. A competition was held in 1892, comparing rifle designs from Lee, Krag-Jørgensen, Mannlicher, Mauser, and about 40 other military and civilian designs. The trials were held at Governors Island, New York. Despite protests from domestic inventors and arms manufacturers, the Krag-Jørgensen design was chosen. As many of these are sporterized and restocked, this one has not been altered. Great bore, no cracks in the stock. No rust, or pitting. Just a nice light petina on a 115 year old rifle! Serial dates it at 1899, and verified by the National War Museum. C&R eligible.
