    Pics of my new "collection"

    As I said on my other post, I recently inherited some rather nice milsurps. Here are some pics:

    Here are most of the rifles. From top to bottom, they are:
    Enfield No4. Mk1
    Enfield (?? Would love some help identifying this one - I'll post some closeups)
    03-A3 Sporter, recently reparkerized and refinished.
    1901 Kragicon (Awesome shape)
    Remington Model 550-1, .22 cal
    Carcano Terni 7.35



    The two .303's:


    The 03-A3 and the Krag:


    Some closeups of the yet-to-be-identified .303:






    And while I'm at it, a couple closeups of the 03-A3:



    Again, any help identifying that other .303 is greatly appreciated. Some of the markings look like pure chicken scratch to me. What is there doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me. I can't find anything that clearly says anything like "No.4" or "Mk.I" on the other one.

    Anyway, there they are.

    It looks like the others have been sporterized too, but I'm not an expert. If the Kragicon carbine is real it's worth quite a bit. You should take some close-ups and post it on the Krag forum - there are experts there who can tell if it's authentic or a cut down to look like a carbine.

    Do you know how to use the 'macro' setting on your camera for taking close-up photos that aren't blurry? It usually has a 'Flower' symbol and most all digital cameras has the setting. You'll need to get good close-up photos of markings, etc to get much real help with anything.

    Second from the top looks like a rather nicely sporterized No1Mk3* Enfield.

    I am almost certain the the Krag is a cut down rifle. Carbines never had rifle sling swivels Up till the 1898 models they had saddle rings on the side opposite the magazine side. The barrel looks lie a replacement 1903 barrel . If you compare it to the 03a3 that's posted you can see the similarity. Additionally carbine front and rear sights have a small c designating carbine on the magazine side of the sight. Right side if the rifle is facing away from you.
    Still the Krag is a great hunting rifle.
