    Hello Milsurp Friends,

    It's serial is 55629

    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.

    Kragicon number 55629 is not listed in SRS data contained in the Appendix of Mallory's book, "The Krag Rifle Story", second edition.

    A rifle's number being close to numbers found in official documentation means little, (and suggests a different issue or fate).

    Jason's number not being found, pretty much guarantees, it was not in the group of Krags that went to the 20th Kansas Vol. Inf.

    Well, at least I don;t have to worry about using some historic receiver to build something out of it's character.

    Thank you for checking.

    The Kragicon (and its cartridge) makes a fine sporter rifle. I've seen many ranging from good to bad to worse. I was lucky enough to snag one of the finest I've ever seen off of GunBroker. I posted about it in this thread...maybe it will give you some inspiration!
