Question on New Krag Sporter

[stevenjay1]

I picked up a new (For me) Krag sporter yesterday and have a few questions I hope someone can answer.

1. I think it has an original 1899 carbine stock however it was fitted with a recoil pad. Before the addition of the recoil pad, was this a carbine stock?

2. Is that an original 1896 Carbine hand guard?

3. It currently has a 1896 rifle rear sight, a Redfield receiver sight and ramp front sight which is off center.

I have not cleaned it but the bore looks good so it should be a good shooter. The serial number is 11420x

Thanks, Steve
