Product Description
An attractive early inert .30-40 Krag (.30 U.S. / .30 Army) cartridge, manufactured by the historic United States Cartridge Company of Lowell, Massachusetts.
The clearly struck headstamp reads:
U.S.C.Co. – .30-40 – .30
The .30-40 Krag holds an important place in American firearms history. Adopted in the 1890s for the Krag-Jørgensen rifle, it was the first small-bore smokeless-powder cartridge adopted as a standard U.S. military rifle cartridge. It subsequently enjoyed a long commercial life as a sporting and hunting cartridge.
This example has an attractive aged brass case and is fitted with a soft-point projectile, characteristic of sporting ammunition intended for hunting rather than military full-metal-jacket ball ammunition.
The U.S.C.Co. headstamp adds considerable collector interest, particularly for collectors of early American ammunition, obsolete sporting cartridges and Krag-related material.
