LCol. Brophy, in his book The Krag Rifle, claims that the .22 Gallery Practice Rifles were newly manufactured weapons. If so, adjust serial numbers accordingly. Of the 841 .22’s manufactured, 500 were made in 1905 and 341 made in 1906. If Brophy is correct, then the highest possible serial number that could appear on a U.S. Krag-Jorgensen is 478694.
