    OP's Kragicon model 1899 receiver, #280510, would have been originally assembled as a carbine.

    It is from a serial number range that was manufactured when the 'knobless - striker' was being manufactured, as an economy move.
    This receiver was likely manufactured in August or September, 1900.

    Your stock is a model 1899 carbine stock.
    If there is no cartouche, it could have been a 'spare' replacement stock.

    Also, it could have been scraped during refurbishing and the cartouche 'removed.

    The barrel is probably a shortened Krag rifle barrel, that someone used to replace a rough carbine barrel. It also could be an altered 1903 barrel.

    The 1901 rear-sight is a rifle sight with the leaf calibrated to '20', (for 2,000 yards).
    The carbine model 1901 sight-leaf was calibrated to '23'.

    You have a rather nice 'parts' Krag that should be a good looking and fun shooter.
