I know this thread is 14 years old , but I own the exact same carbine with the number 80 stamped above the P proof mark at the trigger guard. The thread starter is marked 78. So these might be 2 in series apart. All identifying aspects of these rifles are identical. Mine was owned by a WW1 veteran pilot/observer , Capt. who died in a crash at Hickam field in 1924. This is verified by his grandson, my friend. I inherited this Krag22 years ago. So the provenance is solid. The Capt. must have had possession prior to 1924. So go figure. Bannerman, NRA, BA. Who knows. But it is a well done conversion for sure, and excellent shooter.
