I just purchased an 1892 Krag rifle, serial 17799, that appears to be substantially original. It has the thin wrist stock with the cleaning rod channel and 1895 date, a front band with the rod guide, a flat butt plate with no holes underneath, the short handguard and an un-crowned muzzle. There is no notch in the receiver for the extractor pin. It does have an 1898 bolt that is certainly incorrect. What I'm not sure about is the rear sight, which in an early 1896, and the cutoff, which is also an early 1896 that interrupts cartridge feed when in the up position. Wear on these parts is consistent with the rest of the gun. Is it possible that these parts are original to a later 1892 like this? Thanks for any opinions.Information
