Looks like a rifle cut down take off to me. Full size pics will help, but I'm pretty sure. The front end of a carbine is nothing like that.

hi will add some more pictures the lenght of the stock is 29 1/4 inches long with end having cuts for barrel band,

A krag carbine stock doesn't look like that at the front end. It's rounded. Here's mine, but it's a bit far away... I suggest that one is a cut down rifle. Can you just take a pic of the whole stock end to end? I think a carbine stock is 32 1/4" overall.

It looks like a M1892 / 96 cut-down rifle stock to me. Is it inleted for a butt sling swivel ? Just saw the last two pics the OP posted...has a cut out for sling swivel, is a cut-down rifle stock.

Hi Tom yes it has a cut out for a sling swivel. I just want to make sure what i have so i can list it for sale the right way. Thanks Mike

It is a cut down '92 rifle stock that had been converted to '96. You can see a portion of the filler still at the front. John
