    1898 Krag carbine

    I just got an 1898 Kragicon carbine SN 103863 and it has some replacement parts that are not correct. The stock was replaced maybe 40years ago but is not the correct one. I am looking for a true 1898 Krag carbine stock and rear site to go a long with my low SN reciever. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Robert,

    The 1898 carbine is a rare bird. I would check and then check again before I spent a lot of money on what could be a cut-down. There are guys on this list and the Culvericon list that can tell you if your piece falls inside the known S/N blocks that were original carbines.

    On the other hand, even a fake Kragicon carbine makes a great hunting rifle, as-is.

    good luck!

    Serial would be an 1896 rifle.
