    Hello everyone. I am retired and use to own a gun store in CA. I am selling my collection of firearms and need to research some of them. While researching a Kragicon-Jorgensen rifle I stumbled across an old thread on your site. My rifle appears to be almost identical to the one posted. However, the author didn't state the barrel length. Mine is 20.5" w/ SN 290,507. Did the U.S. use any carbines with this barrel length or does this make it a Norwegianicon carbine.

    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.

    "Rooster" - By the serial number given, it is likely you have a U.S. Model 1898 rifle that has had its original 30 inch barrel shortened. It would have been originally assembled in the Fall of 1900. The barrel and stock alterations were done after it left the 'Service'.

    It is likely to be in .30-40 Kragicon caliber and have "U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1898" stamped on the left-side of the receiver.

    A Norwegianicon Krag would be in 6.5X55mm caliber and have a Year/Date on the top of the 'receiver-ring'.

    Pictures of your Krag would beget more information.
