ray in seattleGun shop tag says, "Model 1898 Springfield"
No caliber markings on this rifle, a sporterized 1903 it appears to me, indicated caliber is 219 Zipper, but curious re. 1898 mention......r in s.

Gun shops might call it anything close.
It could be a flush magazine 98 Krag made into a .219 Zipper.

ray in seattleDug up serial number range list of both 1898 Krag (my s/n beyond this) and 1903 452XXX s/n produced 1910, so learned something today.

seafire2I have a rare, but sporterized 1898 Krag Calvary Carbine...
Great rifle.. that would be a neat rifle chambered in a 219 Zipper...
or a 22 Short Krag...which could be the same thing also...
depending on price.. might be a worthwhile nostalgic investment...
