    $2,000 + Krag on CMP auction!

    I have one that is basically like it except it has a re-arsenal stock without a cartouche. #281416. Price high because CMPicon is selling it? I do not begrudge them the money...

    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 ...

    Most Everything on CMPicon auctions seems to go for very high prices. At least you know it has been checked and is 99.9% legit. I see a lot of Kragicon's on Gunbroker with asking prices of $1500 and up, which are supposedly "1898 carbines", but which most likely are $300 cut downs.

    This one has a "hit" in the Springfield Research Service records which might account for some of the bids.

    What does the "hit" mean? They can attribute that rifle to a certain company or war?

    A hit is a snap shot in time. It means that they found a record that mentions the rifle serial number being at a certain place, usually a military unit, at a certain date.

    It is listed as an 1899 carbine. All receivers marked model 1899 are carbines.... not shortened rifles...

    Just to get the juices flowing what would a case of 12 unissued US Krags be worth?
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Depends on which model. If it were a case of 92s in original trim, over $120,000.

    Thanks, being a Lee Enfield person I literally know nothing about Krags however will ask the person who told me about these if he can get more information.
