It began life as a rifle, that serial number is way too high for an 1898 carbine
Tom,
An 1898 that started life with that S/N was definitely a rifle. If it has a good barrel, take it hunting and don't worry about damaging it.
Good luck!

Thank you all again! I appreciate it. And I will do as suggested.
