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.

Are you sure of the number? Highest number I have is 481739.

**SaginawKid** · 01-05-2015 07:51 AM

Jim that's the number the guy gave me over the phone. You and I know that sometimes the numbers on Krags can be a little difficult to discern and this guy is 84 years old so perhaps he misread it. I'll see the rifle in person on Friday or Saturday and try to get back to you right away as I'm intending to purchase depending on condition, thanks.

I'll be watching. We may not get a direct hit on the number but it may be close enough to give you some possibility. Here's a site for your reference though. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY US KRAG-JORGENSEN RIFLE SERIAL NUMBER RANGES

That IS the correct serial number and the info I've gotten elsewhere indicates 1904 production but they didn't have any specific info on this rifle. Thanks for checking for me.

I've just found a pic of 482872...interesting. Krags can be a bit of a puzzle though if you don't have a firm handle on them. Maybe you can show this one to us when you get it...
