I have recently pulled my dads Springfield model 1898 out of the closet. It hadnt been cleaned in like 700 years and it was DIRTY:barf: . I looked on the internet to get info on how to remove the bolt but was wondering if there is a good site to get other info on it. Im looking for stuff like the history, when and where it was used and ways to identify how old it is. Thanks. It also has a shorter stock in the front (doesnt barely go halfway down) the stock also has 1901 etched in the sides and a fancy curly "P" right behind the trigger guard. I know without pics of it its hard for anybody to say how old it is but if I could just get links to sites or any info anybody can come up with. Thanks
