Hello from north Carolina's obx sandbar. Recently inherited a Springfield model 1898 krag carbine. Having trouble determining the year it was made and if it is indeed a carbine or cut down rifle. Reciever stamp a little faded so it almost looks like it says model 1896, however the serial number is 103xxx. The barrel is 22 inches but no c stamped on the rear sight. There is also a U stamped on the barrel band. Any ideas about this would be really appreciated. Thanks.
