I have an old rifle that was given to me several years ago.  It has Steyr and 1897 on the receiver upper band.  It has the classic Krag action and has the serial number 359xx.  There than that there are several arsenal type marks like crowns.  I can not really find this gun in any books.  I was told that it was probably an M1894 model.  Unfornatuately, someone converted the gun to a sporter stock before I received it.  Can someone tell me anything about this gun?
