About all I know about krags is get the serial number and look for a hit in my SRS books....So I give a spot report...The good , it currently sits in a saddle ring 1898 carbine stock...Faint cartouche, with a big dent in it....Very faint Circle P.....Good size 1.5 by 1/4 sliver of wood missing aft of the bolt handle....Top handguard is a replacement, rear sight screws are modern replacement, appears to be a rifle rear sight.....Muzzle has the same profile of an 03...The front sight appears to be correct, but it is not the best of installs...The neat thing at the top butt screw has a id #.....K2
19..The production chart says it is a rifle....So the question is, could it be really a carbine???....It is at Cabela's....regards...alex
