I have two guns, one above and one below. Almost at the end of production too. 446062 was a rifle that went to the U.S.Kansas and blew up. 450397 was a rifle that was chambered in 30-03 and is in the SA museum. Here's where you can find what year yours was made. (1903) U.S. Military Dates of Manufacture

Thanks for the info, I may call on you again as I'm am negotiating on another.

Was wondering if anyone can check SRS for my 1898 Krag serial number 372060.

[browningautorifle]

My info shows...371969 and 372109 as both issued to USMC. Also designated a trophy rifle for the Hilton trophy match. The beginning of 370XXX to 375XXX were all showing USMC and there were trophy match numbers. Yours doesn't have to be a trophy, they would have hand selected special rifles I should think.

I would suggest yours might be USMC issue though...at one time. Perhaps...maybe...

[yoopercollector]

Thanks a lot for the info. I haven't disassembled this rifle yet. I'll post photos when I do. Are there any special marking I should look for?

[browningautorifle]

It would probably be marked with a plate imbedded in the stock if it were a trophy rifle. We've seen some like that...I wouldn't hold my breath though, probably just a standard rifle. Dick Hosmer and a few others around here will know if there's anything else. If they happen to come across this thread...

Any info on sn#431550? This was the rifle that ended up a carbine build that Dupage had,and was supposedly a movie gun???

[browningautorifle]

Closest I have is 428429, a rifle that went to State of Maine, and 438047, a 98 rifle that went to Colorado NG...
