Krag Carbine Serial Number Range

The cartouche is marked 1901, it has the 'C' stamp on the rear site but it's serial # is four numbers past the cutoff for carbine ser#s for 1901. I've done research and some were returned and made into carbines but I assume there were no records kept of those returned for modification.

I'm not sure where you are getting your serial numbers, but according to Poyer's book on the Krag rifle and carbine, the serial number you have falls in the range 341602 to 362433 which he lists as one of the 1899 carbine ranges.

Third, to figure this out, we'd need to see photos of the receiver showing the serial number and the model. Matching serial numbers to dates is not an exact science as it is mostly based on observation, not records. In another book I have on Krags the author states he examined a carbine marked "Model of 1899" that was in the 368xxx range. He calls this a non-linear production as rifles are often intermixed in supposed carbine ranges. You also have to deal with the overstrikes of the 9 over the last 8 in 1898 when a rifle receiver was diverted to make a carbine.

Okay, some analysis of Rough Rider numbers.The SRS database lists 186 Model 1896 Krag carbines associated with Roosevelt's 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry "Rough Riders."The unit mustered in 47 officers and 994 enlisted men, so probably about 900 were armed with Krag carbines, so about 20% of the numbers have been found.The Rough Rider numbers cluster in 4 ranges: 27010-28995 35164-35741 (only 2 guns in this block) 68013-68758 74097-79499The first block alone is nearly twice the entire number of guns needed for the 1st USV. As usual, usage data is incomplete, but many other units are listed in that range, and while the 1st USV is the most commonly found, that probably is more a lack of records being found for other units than any sort of serious concentration. The second block is only two guns, more than 500 numbers apart. The third block of 745 numbers is not quite enough to arm the regiment even if consecutive (which it is not). The fourth block is over 5,000 numbers, and again lots of units are represented.Wishful thinking may make us want to believe that a close number has to share the same usage as a documented number, but it is just not the case. Even if all 900 Rough Rider numbers were known, they still would not be anywhere near consecutive.But, I too have been proud owner of a "close" one and was happy to display it as "the same as a Rough Rider gun" until I found one that is documented. (And another!)

Manufactured in 1901. The serial number correctly falls into the carbine serial number range (222609-362256) and features a blade front sight on a high stud and folding rear sight graduated from 7 to 18 on the ladder and to 6 on base. Standard left side receiver markings. Mounted with a straight grip half stock with hand guard that has hump with a groove for the sight, a single barrel band, and curve toed steel buttplate with a trapdoor compartment with brown fabric patches and string inside. The left side of the stock is stamped with a cartouche dated 1901 and a circled script "P" is behind the trigger guard with a "30" marked just ahead of it. 2b1af7f3a8
