'jdcru001' - Your neighbor's model 1898 Kragicon, #199844, was originally assembled around May, 1899. It is a cut-down rifle. The rear sight is the model 1901 sight. The front sight is the '03 sight that came into use in 1905.

This Krag was altered to make it handier for 'Hunting'. Such cut-down Krags are quite common and still useful. It is worth around $250.
