1898 Carbine?

[Badger]

Have you checked the United States - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)?

There are a pair of "all correct" 30-40 Krags (rifle and carbine) for comparison.

Model 1898 Krag (Caliber 30-40) Rifle (click here)

Model 1899 Krag (Caliber 30-40) Carbine (click here)

Here's pics from the carbine photo montage of the rear sight that should be marked for carbines....

Does yours have the small "c" on the side as shown in the pic above?

Thanks for the comeback. No "C". Has a 1902 rear sight. Thats why I am thinking it is a cut down rifle but by who? Thanks
