    Krag made in 1902 - Any insight?

    I run a small gun store in Jefferson, GA. The first time I fired a rifle was in Marine Corps boot camp and I wasn't raised around em. I do know how to research a little though lol. I know it was made in 1902 and that it appears to be missing a longer stock piece on the front and a barrel band? The blue book also shows values all over the place so any insight into that would be appreciated too. I uploaded photos on my account I hope yall can see. If not let me know. Thanks in advance!

    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.

    Welcome aboard!

    It has indeed been chopped down. This seriously hurts the value.
    This rifle is worth, maybe, $300. If you ever came across a full length stock, it would cost you another $250 or $300.

    Your Kragicon, #372380, was originally assembled around February, 1902.

    The stock was shortened, (and slightly tapered, judging by the rounded 'finger grooves'), to make it handier for Hunting.

    This Krag could be a candidate for restoration by splicing on a new forearm, under the barrel-band. (Parts would run about $150).

    Value would be related to bore conditon. As it sits, $300 to $375 is realistic.

    In OP's photo, barrel appears to be full 30 inch length.

    (There is an unusual 'view photos' prompt, in left-margin of his post).

    Wow, small world. I purchased this rifle from you in Jefferson. Update, I restored it. I somehow lucked up and found a 1902 marked stock and put it back to original. Picture below. It is an excellent rifle with a pristine bore. Thanks again for the rifle.
