Yes, it would be quite informative to find out how many exist today along with serial number ranges.

I found some pictures of one of my two M1898 Krag carbines to share. This one is SN: 120864. The other one is SN: 120021. So, out of 5002 manufactured, I have two, Val99 has one. I would like to have posts by any members (and guests) who have M1898 carbines so we can get an informal count of how many of the original 5002 we represent at KCA. I would like to know how many original ones remain as well as refitted ones.

This carbine below has been refitted with the M1899 32 inch style stock without the swivel ring, no cartouche and an M1901c rear sight. My other M1898 is an original 30" stock with faint cartouche visible, M1896c rear sight and swivel ring. I'll get pictures of that one soon.

This is very similar to Val99s.
