Stock fitters marks, wow, the receiver ring on that one has sure got hot a time or two! Could be a real 98 carbine, could be a construction. What the others are looking for is mention in govt records of your particular serial # being issued as a carbine. That's about the only surefire proof. I know 5MF have some serial #s that Mallory missed, so don't sell that sight right away!
