Gun show 1898 Krag.

'Scottz63' - Your Krag should be a fun shooter. The stock and barrel have definitely been cut down by a civilian.
Springfield Armory did not make a Krag model with a 24.5 inch barrel.

Some VFW posts had their standard Krag rifles 'shortened' to a 24" barrel length to make them appear 'more like' the 1903 Springfield rifle.

It would be interesting to see detailed photos of your front and rear sights. It appears your present rear-sight is a model 1896 sight that has been put on backwards.
Your hand-guard appears to be one that was made for the model 1892 Krag.
(The sight-opening may be altered).

The front-sight looks to be some type of commercial 'ramp'.

Your Krag, serial number 244581, (or 244531), was likely built around January or February of 1900.
