    Thinking of buying this. Owner wants $775. Worth it ? Rifle is operable, action very smooth, appears still all original, bore pretty nice, about 30% remaining finish has patena similer to old nickle steel Winchester rifles., no metal pits, stock has some dings, cartouche visible 1897, sn 512XX, receiver M1896

    My knowledge of Kragicon rifles isn't strong.... thanks in advance !

    Mike

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Hi Mike ....

    Only Contributing Members and Advisory Panelicon can read this thread, so just in case there's other members who can help you, I've cross posted (copied) your post to the Kragicon Rifles Forum as well.

    I'm not really a Krag collector, so I can't help you ..

    Regards,
    Dooug
