U.S. Krag-Jorgensen Bolt-Action Magazine Carbine, shortened and modified from M-1898 rifle, perhaps by the Benicia Arsenal in the 1920s for NRA civilian sales.  Receiver is marked "Model 1898" and was mfg'd. 1900 without carbine sling bar and ring, lacks top handguard and is fitted with open rifle sights.  Oil-finished walnut halfstock has 1900-dated clipped-rectangle inspectors' cartouche at left wrist, nose shortened to top band, hinged trapdoor in buttplate for segmented rods (not present).  Condition is very good retaining 50% thinning/darkening barrel blue, 25% to receiver.  Stock is sound with mild marks from military use, has rifle sling swivels, clear cartouche, much original finish.  Action is smooth, bore shows light etching and very good rifling.(C&R)
