    Hmm. I think so. Seems I read a forum post recently talking about how they've added the Shopping Cart functionality. Was that on this forum?

    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 ...

    Recently, Schwartz is back to making hand-guards. The prices have gone up a bit.

    That is a nice looking Kragicon. The barrel appears to be a shortened Krag barrel (not an adapted 1903 Springfield barrel).

    With a Krag rear-sight & screws, appropriate hand-guard (Krag hand-guards are sight model specific), and a model 1898 magazine cut-off lever, it would look like an "NRA/DCM Carbine", as produced by Benicia Arsenal in the late 1920's.

    None of this would increase the value of your Krag, beyond the value of the added parts and your personal happiness.

    FWIW - I would just keep it, use it, and enjoy it, "the way it is".

    BTW - An original U.S. Krag rear-sight will probably have to be set for 400 yards to compensate for the 1903 Springfield front-sight, which is taller than the Krag front-sight.

    Thought there was something to them not being there a while back. I had a carbine I wanted to replace the handguard on, but sold it so problem solved.
