So I have found a 1898 that Appears to be a Carbine. The barrel measures 22" from muzzle to the opening of the receiver. The front sight looks perfect (Exactly like my rifle) the rear sight has been removed and unfortunately a lyman sight has been installed on the rear of the receiver. The stock has had the butt plate filled in and a recoil pad added. My question is what is the serial number range for 1898 Carbines? If original I am planning on restoring it back as close as possible with the SCREW HOLE plugged. The most expensive part I believe will be the correct stock. What should a stock in serviceable condition go for? Thanks for any input.
