New to the forum and could use your help with my 1898 Springfield.  I suspect the rifle was sporterized sometime ago to a carbine, but not being an expert I am not sure:

Carbine length barrel, full length stock no upper hand guard
Rear peep sight (directly over trigger guard)
Hinged door in butt stock (for cleaning kit?)
U.S. Model 1898 Springfield Armory 126804
Muzzle about 1/2" from front sight
1" Metal band around muzzle
No swivel attachments for slings
Two holes top of barrel half way between breach and first barrel band
No magazine cutoff

It looks original to me, but I am sure it isn't.  The lack of swivel attachments on a US rifle is a giveaway to me.  The only thing is it "looks" original.  I will try and get pix posted as soon as possible.  Thanks-Eric.
