    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 ...

    I don't think so. The bolt would almost fetch that if sound. Some of the parts might add up to that. The gun as a whole wouldn't be worth trying to resurrect for that though. I doubt the barrel was anything at all inside.

    I guess it all depends on how badly someone needed parts and what it was worth to them. If ,say, someone was given a family heirloom that needed some parts, then they have a cheap Kragicon that is hopefully now complete and functional. Or if someone has a missing or broken bolt, then they might have figured it was worth it to get the gun functional again. Plus there would be other parts on it. Depending on where you are, these things aren't on every street corner.
    If on the other hand the buyer is planning a restoration on it, then I think it was not such a wise purchase.

    Looks like someone paid about three times what it is worth. Looks like a loooong project.

    I just took a look on gun broker and, going by parts prices on there, there is about $450.00 worth of parts on this gun and that excludes the wood. Of course it's hard to say what the parts listed might actually sell for.

    And, unless the buyer chimes in here, I'll guess we'll never know if it was bought to restore, to part out, or to complete an existing rifle.

    I generally do not care for Krags being broken down and sold for parts (and notice some individuals do this on a regular basis on 'Ebad' and 'Gunbraker'). However, this Kragicon is a good candidate for 'Organ Donor'.
