    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.

    No SRS hit on U.S. Kragicon, #466026.

    Talk about close, #466025, is an SRS hit. It was a model 1898 rifle that was destroyed on 05/17/1929, at the New Cumberland, Pa. by the Army Depot guards.

    Mrbohanon's Kragicon, #466026, was assembled around July or August, 1903, as a model 1898 rifle.

    It is way above the serial number range of the 5,002 model 1898 carbines that were made. Model 1898 carbines fall largely between the 117K to 125K serial number range, along with many rifles.

    A new carbine configuration was approved in August, 1899. Carbines made after this were marked 'model 1899'.
