    1898 .30-40 Springfield

    Can anyone tell me what I have and approximate value? Receiver marked US Springfield Armory Model 1898 #2201xx, barrel has a 1903? Springfield front sight, rear sight is adjustable from 200 to 2000 yards, barrel has a "P" and a "K" stamped on the underside next to the receiver. Barrel is 21 1/2" long to front of receiver ring. Stock appears to be a cut-down 1898 stock, about 7" long from front of stock/handguard swizel band. Overall condition is about good to very good. Barrel is very slightly pitted on interior. Thank you in advance.

    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.

    had to really tell without a picture, from your discription it appears to be a cut down rifle which was fairly common, in nice shape they usually go from $400 to $750 depending on how nice thay are and what condition the bore is in, dealing with Kraigs can be a world all in it's own.
