So, in other words, there are/were BA records kept of 11,000+ 1898 rifles converted to "carbines" during a 5 year period and these records ...

... still exist?

... contain(ed) serial #s of those rifles that government armors converted?

Based on this and 5MF's earlier post, it seems there may be (or at one time may have been) a "paper trail" to relevant information that Brophy didn't have, couldn't access, ignored or missed.

"I believe the information 5MF has uncovered in the past couple years is beyond what you will find published in any of the published Kragicon books.
Probably. Thanks also to 5MF for his reply. Maybe he can tell me what kind of rear sight I have on my 22" barrelled Krag faux-carbine that makes it pretty accurate at 100yds (thus far, on 2 brief range outings)?

Thanks to all who took the time to reply. Just looking to learn what I can ...
