Sporterized M1898 Springfield ("Krag-Jorgensen"), with an M1903 Springfield barrel, a Hart Arms Co. replacement forward-hinged magazine cover, and Pacific peep sight. The "sporterizing" was done in the late '30s or early '40s, most likely, as the barrel has a 1936 date. .30-40 Krag is a great deer cartridge!
