Serial Numbers Observed Of .22 Gallery Practice Rifles, Board of Ordnance and Fortifications Rifles, JSA 1904 Cartouche, SWP 1894 Right Side Cartouche, Model 1892 Carbines
- According to page 37 of the Springfield Research Service – Serial Numbers of Martial Arms Volume 1, the serial number “71150” falls between 2 serial numbers that are documented as being issued to the U.S. Army 6th Cavalry (71143 and 71210).
- During the ten years (1894-1904) of Krag production less than 500,000 arms were completed and changes to reduce costs and facilitate ease of manufacture resulted in non-interchangeability of parts requiring many new model designations. All were manufactured at Springfield Armory in Massachusetts.
- I am trying to date US Springfield 1898 Krag.The serial number is 480531. I have looked at some list on line but none go that. Can someone shed some light on this for me?
