    OP's front-sight looks like a Stokes Kirk (not 1903 Springfield) after market sight.

    The Stock does appear to be a model 1898 carbine Stock (with sling-bar), as 'highpower3006' stated. The barrel-band is correct for this stock, but, the rear sight is not.

    The rear-sight intended for this stock and barrel-band is the model 1896 carbine sight.

    The hand-guard may be an original carbine one, but, it is likely the sight opening has been altered.

    The rear-sight now on this Kragicon is incorrect. It appears to be either a model 1898 or model 1902 sight base, with a 1902 leaf.

    'browningautorifleicon' supplied a picture of a Krag carbine with the model 1899 carbine stock, which has a longer forearm and uses a different barrel-band.
