It would appear they 'bracket' an important 'change-over' event!Īt Springfield Armory was there a new rifle 'overlap period', with both rifle models being made for a while? Or, did things come to a clean 'stop' and change to making only new rifles and carbines with the 1898 receiver? It would be nice to know more about the significant model 1896 (#109271) and model 1898 (#109292) Krag rifles, that Tom P. The next model 1898 rifle, listed by Mallory, was part of a large batch of model 1898 rifles, starting with #109459, that went to Co. Model 1898 Krag rifle, I think the circumstances, under which it was recorded, should be considered and the rifle be regarded as a highly questionable "Lone Ranger". Since #109128 represents the lowest "documented" serial number for a U.S. Of course, we have no way of double-checking the stamped numbers on a Krag receiver that was turned into scrap. I can recall at least one instance of a KCA member with a rifle # that was documented as "Destroyed".
